Abelia - Kaleidoscope

Abelia Kaleidoscope is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant, ever-changing foliage. New growth emerges a soft yellow with hints of green, gradually maturing into rich golden tones with variegated creamy edges. In cooler months, the leaves take on striking shades of orange, red, and deep pink - living up to its name with a true 'Kaleidoscope' of color. Tiny, fragrant white blooms appear from late spring through fall, attracting pollinators and adding to its charm. Perfect for borders, foundation plantings, or containers, this tough little shrub brings year-round interest with minimal effort.
