A very bright and lively effect, with reddish stems adding to the colour scheme. This shrub has a long flowering period with scented flowers that are attractive to bees, hoverflies and other insects.

Positive sweezel On May 17, 2004, sweezel from McKinney, TX (Zone 8a) wrote:

This is a yellow and green variegated Abelia. Newer leaves have bright yellow margins and deep blue-green centers with a hint of pink throughout the leaf. The bright yellow margin becomes a creamy yellow as the leaf matures.

This cultivar also is more compact than other cultivars and has more of a spreading habit. My fairly new bushes are almost twice as wide as they are tall.
