Noteworthy Characteristics

It is an exceptionally durable and astonishingly beautiful evergreen shrub with constantly swirling color throughout all the seasons on evergreen foliage. It displays variegated bright yellow and green foliage during the warm season that then turns outstanding shades of red and deep orange during the winter months. The foliage does not bleach in the sun. Small white flowers produced throughout summer and into fall are mildly fragrant, attract butterflies, and are a nice contrast to the foliage. It has shown excellent resistance to drought, disease, insects and deer.
Uses
It's dense, mounding habit make Kaleidoscope Abelia a good selection for foundation plantings, around decks and patios, or in small to large groupings on slopes or in landscape beds and borders.
Culture
Plant Kaleidoscope Abelia in locations that provide well-drained soils and full sun. Abelias do not like constantly soggy soil. Shearing one to two times a year will maintain a more dense plant. Cease pruning two months prior to the first typical frost date in your area.

Kaleidoscope Abelias arrived in great condition! Ordered a few 3 gallons and planted last fall. All are doing wonderful and thriving - not to mention they are deer proof! Had problems with deer destroying plants before and these seem to be holding up nicely. Looking forward to seeing them grow, there are such great plants!
