BOTANICAL NAME: ABELIA X GRANDIFLORA ‘KALEIDOSCOPE’ PP16,988. A low-growing, semi-evergreen shrub, it will help beef things up in the shrub border.

To top it off, it produces small pink-tinted white flowers, which emerge from pink buds, over a long period in summer and autumn. During the summer the colour intensifies and deepens, and then in autumn shades of orange and red creep in. Bright, golden yellow variegation on medium green leaves along with brilliant red stems creates a striking kaleidoscope of color.
In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring. This shrub is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. Abelia x grandiflora Kaleidoscope PP16988.
