Poco Loco® Abelia (Abelia x grandiflora)

Poco Loco® Abelia lives up to its name with bold, ever-changing foliage and a lively display of blooms. In spring, its leaves emerge in vivid yellow-orange tones, shifting to soft green in summer with striking pink-red new growth. As the season continues, fragrant pale pink flowers cover its tidy, rounded habit, creating a show-stopping mix of color and texture.

Despite its wild style, Poco Loco® is easygoing in the garden. Its smaller size makes it a perfect fit for the front of borders, perennial beds, or containers, where it adds a dynamic pop of color with very little maintenance. Heat tolerant, drought resistant, and naturally neat—this abelia brings lasting interest with minimal effort. If you're looking for a compact shrub that keeps things fresh all season long, Poco Loco® is your go-to for bold color in a manageable package.
