Abelia ‘Radiance’
Abelia ‘Radiance’ is a new sport of Abelia ‘Kaleidoscope.’ This white variegated Abelia maintains its color and density throughout the year. New foliage is medium green with creamy yellow margins, aging to silvery-green with cream-white margins. Its variegated foliage has proven to be more stable than other white Abelia varieties and produces minimal water shoots. The vivid crimson stem colors provide a dramatic contrast to the variegated foliage. The tight compact habit reaches 3 feet high and 5 feet wide at maturity. Fragrant white tubular flowers appear from mid-summer through fall. Perfect as a low accent plant, in mass landscape plantings or as a container plant.
