The Kaleidoscope Abelia is a dynamic and colorful plant that truly lives up to its name. It's a variegated, semi-evergreen shrub that's known for its vibrant, changing foliage. The leaves are a mix of green and golden yellow, with the centers of the leaves turning bright yellow in the spring. As the seasons change, so do the colors of the leaves. In the fall, the foliage becomes a mix of orange, fiery red, and golden yellow, creating a stunning display. It produces clusters of small, white, tubular flowers that bloom from summer until the first frost. These flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, adding an extra layer of life to your garden.
