I just bought 6 of these from Home Depot. They looked half dead so I got them on sale. :-) These look great in the front yard up against the porch with red mulch. We'll see how well they survive the winter. They are already blooming.

I have not grown this plant. Variegated Abelia 'Silver Anniversary', aka 'Panache' (Abelia x grandiflora) is more suitable for Zones 8-11. In colder regions the plant may receive severe freeze damage. In some areas, it will die back to the ground. After this, it will not attain its natural height (to 3 feet) and width (to 3 feet) during the growing season reaching only about 1 to1.5 feet tall.

'Silver Anniversary' is a compact, mounding shrub with red-tinted, bright green leaves variegated with silver to cream margins. Its up to 3/4 of an inch blooms which appear on new growth are mildly fragrant. 'Silver Anniversary' is suitable as a specimen plant, a shrub border plant or as a foundation plant and can be used in rock gardens. It can also be planted in containers.
