Abelia

Common Name: Abelia x grandiflora Gold Spot Latin Name: Abelia x grandiflora 'Gold Spot' Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: June to September/ White Hardiness: Half hardy Eventual height/spread: 3m/4m Special features: Golden green leaves that are held on arching branches.

The foliage is golden green and in summer, through to autumn, the leaves are complimented by the pretty, tubular flowers. The flowers open from deep pink buds and are white, with a pale pink blush. In milder areas the leaves will hold all year round, but for most this is a semi-evergreen shrub. This Abelia is a great choice for low-level structural planting as the branches gently arch; we love it in a mixed bed with an accenting plant, like the darker green leaves of the popular Abelia grandiflora. 

Abelia x grandiflora Kaleidoscope

This Abelia is a wonderfully colourful semi-evergreen shrub that offers a kaleidoscope of colours for most of the year. The variegated foliage is at its brightest in spring when the leaves emerge with vivid shades of yellow and green. As the foliage matures throughout summer the colour deepens and darkens. Summer foliage is accompanied by fragrant, pale pink-white, tubular flowers that open from rosy pink buds and last until October. The final show of colour comes in autumn when the leaves have an orange-red sheen. In milder areas the leaves will hold, but for most this is a semi-evergreen shrub. We love this Abelia in a colourful border, particularly a sensory one, and it looks great alongside the much darker leaf colours of the Nandina deomsticata 'Obsession'.
