The Suntastic Radiance Abelia is sure to stand as a marvel in the gardening world with its compact, semi-evergreen nature and a striking blend of crimson stems, intricately variegated leaves and pristine white tubular flowers. Originating from the renowned Kaleidoscope Abelia, this cultivar continues the legacy of elegance and beauty. Mature plants achieve a neatly compact structure, spanning dimensions of approximately 2/3 ft. x 3/5 ft. and maintain a graceful silhouette all year round. During the transition from mid-Summer to fall, the shrub is adorned with fragrant white tubular blooms. Its foliage showcases a medium green shade delicately framed with creamy yellow outlines, evolving over time to a captivating silvery-green hue with cream-white edges. A notable distinction of the 'Radiance' as compared to other white variegated Abelia is its minimal production of those often-annoying water shoots. Whether you envision it as a standout specimen, clustered informally as a hedge or even elegantly positioned within a container, the Suntastic Radiance is a superior choice. Due to their long blooming periods Abelia shrubs are a great choice for the gardener that is looking to attract pollinators. Bees, butterflies and birds are all lovers of the tubular flowers and just can't get enough. Moreover, the low-maintenance nature of Abelia, combined with their resilience against pests and diseases, further accentuates their appeal to garden enthusiasts globally.
