Corynabutilon vitifolium, Vine-Leaved Abutilon, is a fast-growing large shrub to small tree from Chile with large fuzzy foliage. The leaves have three or five lobes depending on age and do indeed resemble vine-leaves or, to give you another idea, Huella, its Chilean name means pawprint. Their large size, the tufted down on their surface and the tropical-looking lobes all combine to give it an exotic appearance. It is a vigourous grower and will soon reach a good size but it needs a very sheltered spot, ideally up against a warm wall and ideally with some frost protection from overhanging branches. The flower is a typical Malvales shape, resembling a Hibiscus, large and exotic-looking and usually pale mauve although there is some variation and occasionally a white-flowering form appears.
