Abelia

Foliage variegation changes from gold in spring to a burst of red, orange and yellow in summer and green for late fall. White, bell shaped flowers persist well into autumn. Attractive and compact, use as a low-growing hedge, mass planting, or as an accent. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing crossing branches to encourage a strong framework.
