Cristina Flowering Maple 1 Gallon Live Plant – Abutilon × hybridum ‘Cristina’

Cristina Flowering Maple (Abutilon × hybridum ‘Cristina’) is an ornamental flowering plant supplied as 1 live plant in a 1-gallon container. This cultivar features distinctive ruffled red-orange flowers with contrasting maroon calyces, creating rich seasonal color from spring through fall.

Commonly known as Flowering Maple or Chinese Lantern, Abutilon has an upright, shrubby growth habit and works well as an ornamental accent in containers, patios, borders, and mixed garden plantings. Despite its common name, Flowering Maple is an Abutilon and not a true maple.

Cristina is listed for USDA Hardiness Zones 8–12 and is suitable for sun to part shade. It has moderate water requirements and benefits from a fertile, well-draining growing medium. Blooming is listed from spring through fall, although flowering can vary with climate and growing conditions.
