Mixed foliage
22 years ago
I love the Abutilon pictum 'Thompsonii', even though it's a fussy plant that can drive you crazy if not sited exactly right. But when it's happy it's a showstopper that everyone asks about. Here (left to right) it droops nicely over a "Crimson Curls" heuchera, yellow-leaf oxalis, a variegated pieris, and some rather invasive polygonum.
