Abelia "Kaleidoscope'
Kaleidoscope is as versatile as it is colorful, with chameleon-like foliage that changes with the seasons, from golden yellow in spring to orange-red in fall.
Kaleidoscope Abelia is a semi-evergreen plant; this means it will retains its leaves through the winter, however, in colder climates, it may drop some of its leaves. To protect Kaleidoscope Abelia from frost and wind damage during winter, cover the shrub with mulch or burlap (not plastic).
