Blooming for weeks from summer to frost, and almost year-round in warmer climates, these lantern-like blossoms attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The fresh green, maple-like foliage complements the vibrant flowers. This compact variety is ideal for decorative containers or hanging baskets. In Melbourne's climate, it thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring evenly moist, rich, well-drained soils. Once established, it is heat and drought tolerant. Regular watering and occasional feeding will promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Pruning after blooming encourages strong basal branching and re-blooming. \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative inline-flex items-center\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenia.net\/plant\/abutilon-lucky-lantern-tangerine?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"ml-1 inline-flex h-[22px] items-center rounded-xl bg-[#f4f4f4] px-2 text-[0.5em] font-medium text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary relative top-[-0.094rem] !text-token-text-secondary uppercase hover:bg-token-text-primary hover:!text-token-main-surface-secondary dark:hover:bg-token-text-primary group\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"truncate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrub - Small\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: Approximately 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: Approximately 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAspect:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers in Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers in Autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTangerine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Attributes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for Pots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought Tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBee Attracting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for Hanging Baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e No known toxicity to humans or animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion Plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalvia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePetunias\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeraniums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warners","offers":[{"title":"20CM","offer_id":44818346573989,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/2911\/0693\/files\/AbutilonLuckyLanternTangerine.png?v=1738225704"},{"product_id":"abutilon-boule-de-neige","title":"Abutilon Boule de Neige","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snowball Abutilon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abutilon 'Boule de Neige', commonly known as Snowball Abutilon, is an evergreen shrub admired for its elegant, pendulous white bell-shaped flowers that bloom from spring through autumn.
