Bell mallow or flower maple is an old-fashioned, pretty houseplant that is very easy to grow. The leaves look like small maple leaves, the flowers are reminiscent of hibiscus but more bell-like. The color can vary from red to yellow with some orange in between. Grateful and willing to flower, easy to grow from seed. Can also be sown at other times of the year, but needs plant lighting. Top the plant several times and it will become bushier. Thrives in a sunny position in good soil. Requires a lot of water and nutrition.
