Lucky Lantern Yellow Flowering Maple

Lucky Lantern Yellow Flowering Maple (Abutilon 'Lucky Lantern Yellow') is a charming, compact flowering shrub beloved for its prolific production of bright lemon-yellow, lantern-shaped blooms that dangle gracefully from arching stems like a string of glowing golden lights. Part of the popular Lucky Lantern Series, this selection is prized for its naturally tidy, mounding habit that requires minimal pruning — making it one of the most garden-friendly and low-maintenance abutilons available. The cheerful, bell-shaped yellow flowers are produced in generous, continuous flushes from spring through fall, creating a warm, luminous display that brightens mixed borders, patio containers, and cottage garden plantings with effortless seasonal color.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, producing well-developed root systems that establish quickly and bloom reliably throughout the growing season. Lucky Lantern Yellow Abutilon thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and performs beautifully in both in-ground garden beds and large patio containers. Its compact size and continuous bloom production make it a natural choice for gardeners seeking a long-blooming, hummingbird-friendly shrub without the sprawling habit of larger abutilon varieties.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Water regularly until established, then reduce to moderate watering. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11; in cooler climates grow as a long-blooming container plant and overwinter indoors. Mature height 18–24 inches with a spread of 18–24 inches. Blooms spring through fall. Light tip pruning in early spring encourages a bushy, well-branched habit and maximizes flower production throughout the season.
