Features

Shrub-like plant with maple-like foliage and hibiscus like flowers. Good as a container plant or specimen in the garden. Variegated leaf types and pendulous types available.

Culture

Full sun to very light shade in a moist soil. Light afternoon shade is helpful to prevent wilting of the plant in the heat of the day.

Cultivars

'Souvenier de Bonn' 3-4 feet tall peach flowers and variegated foliage

'Thompsonii' 6-12 inches tall peach flowers variegated foliage

Notes

Prefers moist soil and light afternoon shade. Pinch the tops of branches to promote a more compact plant. Can be brought in for the winter and used as a houseplant, thus the name 'Parlor Maple.' Put in a bright light location for best results.
