The "Lucky Lantern" Abutilon series from PlantHaven features compact, bushy genetic dwarf abutilons that are excellent for summer containers. The perennial has a longer growing period than the Bella seed-raised series, but this plant still has a short growing cycle (4-6 months) compared with other perennials. The advantage of a vegetatively propagated Abutilon is the long blooming period (near year round in California conditions) with a profusion of bells at all times.
