Every abelia is someone’s favorite around here, and this one is Ashley’s. She loves the compact size and the cool variegation that is consistent year-round, and the fact that it makes the perfect replacement for Sunshine privet (a plant that we don’t sell because privets are invasive, and we think there are much cooler plants, including this one).
