Trailing Abutilon ‘Rhubarb and Custard’

• Custard-yellow petals with rich rhubarb-red calyces
• One of the hardiest abutilons, tolerant down to -5C
• Attractive maple-like foliage with long flowering season
• Ideal for pots, patios and sheltered borders

Abutilon megapotamicum Rhubarb and Custard is a beautifully distinctive variety, prized for its dramatic colour contrast and elegant, lantern-like flowers. The soft custard-yellow petals sit within deep rhubarb-red calyces, creating a striking, almost Victorian look that stands out in any garden setting.

One of the hardiest abutilons available, this variety is capable of tolerating temperatures down to around -5C when grown in a sheltered position. Its deep green, maple-shaped foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the flowers, which are produced freely over a long season from summer into autumn.

Perfect for growing in containers on patios or positioning in a sheltered border, Rhubarb and Custard brings colour, character and a touch of the exotic to UK gardens. In colder areas, plants can be moved under cover for winter protection to ensure reliable performance year after year.
