Abutilon incanum | Hoary Abutilon | 10 seeds

Abutilon incanum, commonly known as hoary abutilon or pelotazo, is a perennial shrub native to the southwestern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America. It typically grows 60–120 cm (2–4 feet) tall, with a branching, semi-woody structure and a covering of fine, grayish hairs that give the plant a soft, hoary appearance. The leaves are heart-shaped to ovate with serrated edges, covered in velvety hairs, and arranged alternately along the stems. Abutilon incanum produces small, five-petaled, pale white with maroon centers that bloom from spring through fall, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It thrives in dry, rocky, or sandy soils and is well adapted to arid and semi-arid environments, making it a resilient plant for drought-prone landscapes. Traditionally, Indigenous peoples have used this plant for medicinal and fiber-making purposes. Its ability to establish in disturbed areas and provide nectar for pollinators makes Abutilon incanum an excellent choice
