Description

Kaleidoscope Glossy Abelia (Abelia × grandiflora 'Kaleidoscope') is a compact evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub celebrated for its spectacular, season-changing foliage. New leaves emerge in brilliant shades of golden yellow and lime green, gradually developing warm orange tones as the seasons progress. In cooler weather, the foliage may display vibrant red and bronze highlights, creating a colorful garden accent throughout much of the year. Small, delicate white flowers appear during summer, adding a soft contrast to the striking leaves. Naturally forming a dense, rounded mound, this versatile shrub is ideal for low borders, foundation plantings, colorful mass displays, and patio containers. Once established, it requires relatively little water and minimal pruning.
