Title: Abutilon 'Souvenir de Bonn'
Post by: snipsnip on November 01, 2009, 22:38:50
A couple of months ago I had an Abutilon 'Souvenir de Bonn'  given to me, it has done really well in a large pot and is very pretty but what am I going to do with it in the winter?



I don't have a shed or greenhouse, and it's about 3' tall, so am worried it wont survive the winter.

sorry to say this but   its doomed without frost protection  find a friend with a greenhouse   to store it over winter

I would be tempted to cut any new growth off, keep it on the dry side, wrap it in fleece then keep it next to a wall that will soak up any warmth from the sun.

Thanks both for your replies.

It now has a bedroom of it's own.
