Abelia x grandiflora 'Kaleidoscope'

Lovely. I've never grown Abelia, but often admired them.

This one looks lovely all year round Karen. The leaves have red tints in winter.

Ah yes, I googled it...evergreen in mild winters....mmm...lovely!

It was evergreen last winter!

lol...right...well, tougher than its reputation then!

It was it's first winter so I didn't know any different Lol!

Well, it's something for me to consider for the future...lovely!

I have this, it flowers almost all year round and gets quite big :)))

Lovely plants with a perfume also, can grow very large, I admire the variegation on this one...

I keep this one trimmed quite low in the front garden. The scent is lovely and it is just outside the office window.

I have grown a few of them and don't get a scent from any of them. A. x grandiflora itself is hardy enough (last winter) but I have seen 'Confetti' completely defoliated and very sad. All very long flowering. A 'must have' shrub for any garden.
