Re: Abutilon

In Berkeley it can grown 6' in a season depending.  It gets scale and white
fly, I spray with safer as often as I can remember because the leaves get
all black and ugly if I don't.  In the far background it wouldn't matter.  I
wash the scale off with soap and water and prune.  

For leggyness you have to pinch and prune a lot--it grows fast.  Just get
used to pruning off flowers because it never stops in warm
weather--sometimes all winter long here.
