Every abelia is someone’s favorite on our nursery and landscaping teams, and this one is Zaine’s. He loves the way the colors change on it in the fall, as well as its neat, tidy little size and shape and the way it bounces back quickly after cold snaps. The flower sheathes (called calyces) are high contrast and pop beautifully against the variegated foliage and white flowers.
