I saw this in the front of a garden border amongst Bishop of Llandaff dahlias and decided I had to have one because they looked so great together. It's a bit big for the front of my border but I keep it cut, which it is happy about, and I love its dark stalks and the tiny leaves which are multicoloured and look great with the sun shining through them. They kept theirs at about 30 cms (I don't know how). Mine is kept at about 100cms but, in the right conditions would make a fab hedge. I now have an Abutilon 'Kentish Belle' which grows and flowers through it which is rather strange but wonderful.
