Abutilon ‘Old Rose Belle’


Description:
Although we don’t know for sure when this cultivar was first grown in the UK, Logee’s nursery (Connecticut, US) have confirmed “Old Rose Belle was a selection of Logee’s that was here when I started working in 1972. It was a chance seedling that had been selected mainly for cut flowers. The date of introduction I don’t know.” According to the Logee’s website, William Logee first established a cut flower business in 1892 and quickly developed into growing unusual and tropical plants.
