Re: Hummingbird/abutilon

I had a lovely peach-colored Abutilon last year.  Had planned to winter it
over in the house, but donated it to a plant sale...
To fill out the bulb sale I conduct in fall, we also include houseplants.
Last year NO ONE donated any houseplants so I had to scramble to put
something on the table so I took whatever I could spare from home - the
Abutilon, all my Rex begonias, 2 huge pots of Silver Squill, etc.  I priced
them sort of high because I really hoped not to part with them, just wanted
the table to look full, but the Abutilon and Begonias went right away.
