Abelia 'Kaleidoscope'
Abelia 'Kaleidoscope' is an eye-catching evergreen shrub, renowned for its vibrant, variegated foliage that shifts in colour throughout the seasons. In spring, its leaves emerge bright yellow with green centres, gradually deepening to golden tones in summer, and finally turning fiery red and orange in autumn, giving a stunning kaleidoscope effect year-round.
Reaching a height of approximately 75 to 90 cm, with a similar spread, Abelia 'Kaleidoscope' has a compact, mounded form that makes it perfect for borders, low hedges, or as a striking standalone feature in containers. From late summer through autumn, it produces small, fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators and add a delicate touch of beauty against the vivid foliage.
Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, Abelia 'Kaleidoscope' is a hardy, low-maintenance shrub. Its ever-changing foliage and compact size make it an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add year-round colour and interest to their landscape.
