Native Plants go the Distance!

Native plant Abutilon palmeri

Abutilon palmeri asks little in return for masses of bright gold flowers produced nearly year round, set in a backdrop of downy, heart-shaped leaves. Once established, you can practically forget about watering it. In fact, it resents over watering.

Versatile, hardy beauty!

The free-flowering A. palmeri, also known as Palmer’s Indian mallow, has much to offer, especially when water is scarce:
