Twist of Lemon Abelia

Twist of Lemon Abelia is a striking semi-evergreen shrub prized for its bright, variegated foliage and easy-care nature. The golden-yellow and lime-green leaves create a luminous display that stands out beautifully in borders and foundation beds. From summer through fall, clusters of delicate white, lightly fragrant flowers appear, adding a soft contrast to the vibrant foliage. Reaching 3 to 4 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide at maturity, Twist of Lemon Abelia maintains a tidy, rounded habit that works well in both formal and natural landscape designs.
