Would anyone know the best way to propogate this plant please? I dont
know what it's called. The lantern shaped flower on the right in the
picture below has the yellow bit in the photo attached to it

Thanks.


Abutilon megapotamicum.
Never grown it myself but try

It is easily propagated by cuttings.

Prior to this winter I've successfully overwintered them in sheltered
locations, but with this and other Abutilons I find that they're very
slow to come back into growth the next year, and overwintering cuttings
indoors may give better results.
