 Random House Publishing Group | Annuals and Tender Plants for North American Gardens by Wayne Winterrowd
Pronunciation: a-bel-MOS-kus For gardeners who assume that all botanical language is drawn from Latin or Greek, the name of the genus Abelmoschus provides an interesting lesson, for it is derived from the Arabic abu-l-mosk, which translates as “parent of musk,” attesting to the ancient use of the seeds of some species in perfume.
All members of the genus Abelmoschus love hot, steamy weather, and so little is gained by starting them very early indoors, for they will sulk in the cool, damp conditions of early spring, even when frosts are past.
And while they may also be bedded out as striking woody accents in mixed borders, all abutilons are flowers to study up close, and so are best featured in pots or planted at the edge of a bed, along a path, or near a terrace, where their beauty may be closely observed.
