Kaleidoscope Abelia 1 Gallon Live Plant – Abelia × grandiflora ‘Kaleidoscope’

Kaleidoscope Abelia (Abelia × grandiflora ‘Kaleidoscope’) is a colorful semi-evergreen ornamental shrub supplied as a live plant in a 1-gallon container. It provides changing foliage color across the seasons along with white flowers from spring through fall.

The foliage emerges with yellow and green variegation in spring, develops deeper green centers with creamy yellow margins in summer, and transitions through green, yellow, orange, and red tones in fall. Winter foliage may develop darker red, green, and yellow tones, while red stems add additional seasonal interest.

Kaleidoscope Abelia is suitable for USDA Zones 6–9 and grows well in sun to part shade with moderate water. It works well in borders, containers, rock gardens, foundation plantings, and hedges. Its flowers can also attract visiting butterflies and hummingbirds.
