Funshine® Abelia (Abelia grandiflora)
True to its name, Funshine® Abelia brings color and cheer to the garden from the moment it leafs out. New growth emerges in warm caramel-orange tones, then softens to a vibrant chartreuse, adding a sunny glow to borders, beds, and containers. In summer, fragrant lavender flowers appear in clusters, drawing in hummingbirds, butterflies, and plenty of attention. Its tidy, naturally rounded habit means no pruning is needed, and its semi-evergreen foliage provides interest through the seasons—staying on longer in warmer climates. Shade tolerant, deer resistant, and low maintenance, Funshine® is a dependable, colorful solution for brightening up tricky spots in the landscape. Whether you're filling in a shady corner or designing a pollinator-friendly border, Funshine® Abelia brings the glow without the fuss.
