10 Seeds Abutilon indicum Indian Mallow Flowering Shrub

Abutilon indicum, commonly known as Indian Mallow, is a warm-climate flowering shrub prized for its bright lantern-shaped blooms and soft, maple-like foliage. It brings a long season of color to borders, patio containers, and pollinator-friendly garden spaces.

Indian Mallow works well as a background planting, informal hedge, or specimen in mixed beds, and its cupped flowers open over many weeks through the warmer months. Plants grow vigorously in full sun and well-drained soil, developing a bushy habit that responds well to light shaping.
