Funshine® abelia quite literally outshines all others. In fact, that's how we found it: it was so much brighter than all the other abelias at the breeder's field in France that we instantly knew it was something special. Golden foliage emerges in tons of marmalade orange and sweet caramel, so Funshine® abelia never looks dull in the landscape. Fragrant soft purple flowers appear all summer. Like other abelias, it is highly deer resistant and exhibits good color and flowering even on dry, shady sites. Semi-evergreen, so it keeps some foliage in winter for year-round interest.
Available in better garden centers starting spring 2019.
Top reasons to grow Funshine® abelia:
- More colorful and vibrant foliage than any other abelia, including variegated types.
- Lavender blooms in summer emit a sweet perfume
- Grows well in sun or shade.
