Abutilon Pictum Thompsonii - 1 litre plants ■☻җ
A hardy garden hybrid Abutilon capable of tolerating at least -12°C that makes a fantastic display in spring with large 3" lilac blue flowers. Grows tall if not gently pruned each year but in any case it is not a long lived shrub - perhaps 10 years or so but well worth the effort.
Arundo Donax 3 litre plants ■☻җ җ
If you are into pretty Dahlia flowers then this is not for you! But - if you are into giant tree size foliage then this one takes the cake. It is semi hardy and from our own experience will stand a normal winter left outside, regrowing from the root stock again in late spring the following year. In the UK probably 10ft is the best you may see in a season but in it’s natural habitat 10 metres is quite normal for 9 months growth! It does flower with pretty single pink flowers but by November the frost will probably have got there first. Has to be seen to be believed with huge 4" diameter stems and massive leaves.
