Abelia
Abelias are shrubs featuring tubular flowers on current years’ growth in summer and fall. The floral parts of the blooms remain showy after flowering on many species. In addition to attractive blooms, many species feature interesting foliage color, from yellow variegation to cream variegation.
The abelias we carry are evergreen or semi-evergreen although there are deciduous varieties also.
