A delightful dwarf shrub with striking variegated yellow and green leaves that turn to orange and red hues, Abelia x grandiflora ‘Kaleidoscope’ is an enchanting addition to garden displays. With ornamental features to admire throughout the seasons, the evergreen colourful foliage is further enhanced by a profusion of flush pink, white flowers throughout the summer and autumn.
With a compact and neat habit, it is a wonderful low maintenance shrub to admire in beds and borders, as well as pots and containers. It works particularly well when positioned next to entrances or near seating areas, where you can also enjoy the light and uplifting fragrance from the flowers.
Robust and reliable to grow, it will thrive in any moist but free draining soil. To get the best display of colour position it in a bright and sunny spot that is sheltered from harsh winds. You will then enjoy many years of wonderful flowers and foliage.
