Abutilon megapotamicum is a charming addition to gardens, valued for its long-lasting, bell-shaped flowers and graceful, trailing growth. It is well-suited for borders, trellises, or container planting, where it can cascade attractively. Best grown in a sheltered, sunny position, it thrives with plenty of light but benefits from some afternoon shade in hotter climates.

Abutilon prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix enriched with organic matter like compost is ideal. While tolerant of a range of soil types, it performs best in slightly acidic to neutral pH. Protection from strong winds is recommended, as the branches are soft and may snap.

In cooler areas, it should be placed in a frost-free spot or overwintered indoors, as it is only hardy down to around -5°C. Regular watering during dry spells and occasional feeding will encourage continuous flowering and healthy growth throughout the season.
