Trailing Abutilon 'Rhubarb and Custard'
- Custard-yellow petals with rich rhubarb-red calyces
- One of the hardiest abutilons, tolerant down to -5°C
- 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 -5°C 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.
