Kaleidoscope Abelia

If you are looking for a small growing and easy to grow shrub that puts on a fall show with its elaborate color, then Kaleidoscope Abelia is the plant for you. In the warmest locations within its hardiness zones, it performs as an evergreen. However, as its hardiness range starts becoming colder, the shrub performs as a semi-evergreen and in the coldest locations where it’s hardy, a deciduous shrub. A relative in the honeysuckle family, Kaleidoscope Abelia produces graceful, arching branches and clusters of fragrant flowers, making it a welcome and attractive addition to the landscape.

Kaleidoscope Abelia grows around 3 feet tall and up to 4 feet wide at maturity. Its name Kaleidoscope tells you everything you need to know about the chameleon-like foliage.

During fall, the foliage takes on fiery hues of orange and red, bringing eye-catching attention wherever it’s used in the garden.
