Abelia 'Confetti' (Abelia)
A small shrub with narrow, white-margined leaves. (Semi evergreen)
Common Name: Abelia Confetti
Latin Name: Abelia x grandiflora Confetti
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil
Position: Full sun
Flowering period/colour: June to October/pale pink
Hardiness: Half hardy
Eventual height/ spread: 1m/1.2m
Special features: A small shrub with narrow, white-margined leaves.
This is a handsome abelia, with long lance-shaped leaves with creamy edges and stalks that are red when young. It is very picturesque and pretty close-up, however, viewed from a distance, as in a border, the colour breaks up into a textured pattern. In autumn, there are little pale pink, tubular flowers but these tend to get lost in all the foliage detail.
This Abelia plant is supplied in a 2-3 litre container suitable for planting all year round.
