Kaleidoscope Glossy Abelia
Abelia grandiflora ‘Kaleidoscope’
Kaleidoscope Abelia is a dazzling, compact shrub that delivers vibrant, ever-changing foliage color throughout the year. Its leaves emerge bright yellow and lime-green in spring, mature to golden-yellow in summer with deep green centers, and then ignite into fiery shades of orange and red in fall and winter. This spectacular display is complemented by a long season of pink-tinged white flowers. Its neat, low-growing habit and non-stop color make it a standout for borders, containers, or mass plantings.
