Abelia grandiflora Kalidescope

Abelia × grandiflora ‘Kaleidoscope’ is a compact, colorful shrub selected for its ever-changing foliage, which emerges bright yellow in spring, matures to chartreuse with green centers, and turns fiery red and orange in fall. Introduced as a refined landscape cultivar, it forms a low, mounding shape that works beautifully in borders, slopes, and containers. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, with the strongest color developing in brighter light, and grows at a moderate, manageable rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–9, it typically reaches about 2–3 feet tall and wide, offering season-long interest with minimal maintenance.
