Grows in dry climates but looks best with periodic summer watering. Soft fuzzy leaves are light grey-green. Plant is best as a background/filler element in a flower bed and can be pruned to just about any shape and height you wish. Pruning is necessary to keep it compact.

Desert tough, beautiful flowers, interesting foliage. Gets about three to six feet tall. Not your average abutilon. Full sun, good drainage. Not fussy about the soil.
