Angel’s Blush Abelia (Abelia x grandiflora ‘ABL-PII’, PPAF) is a compact, evergreen shrub that delivers year-round interest with crisp variegated foliage that turns a rosy blush in cool weather and brightens up shrub borders with a clean, refined texture. In summer, clusters of white blooms appear and are especially loved by hummingbirds, making this a beautiful choice for pollinator-friendly spaces. Its stable variegation and manageable 2 ft. by 3 ft. silhouette make it equally at home in small gardens, foundation plantings, or as a single potted specimen on a terrace or balcony.
A compact, evergreen abelia selected for reliable variegation and multi-season foliage color, paired with white summer blooms that support pollinators and hummingbirds.
Small green-and-white variegated leaves take on a rose-pink hue in cold weather, adding winter interest and soft color shifts without relying on flowers.
White blooms appear in summer and are a favorite nectar source for hummingbirds, bringing movement and wildlife activity to the garden.
Compact, rounded form reaches about 2 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide—perfect for small-space borders, under-window plantings, and container displays.
Full sun to partial sun. Brighter exposure supports best color and denser growth, while a touch of shade can help in hotter microclimates.
Plant in enriched, well-drained, acidic soil. Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry; water deeply and regularly the first season to establish a strong root system.
Suitable for USDA Zones 6–9. Evergreen performance is strong in mild climates; protect in colder northern sites and use sheltered placements for best winter appearance.
Stable variegation; easy care; attracts hummingbirds and pollinators; evergreen structure that provides multi-season color in a compact footprint.
Shrub borders, foundation plantings, and small city yards; also ideal as a single potted specimen on balconies or terraces where foliage color can be enjoyed up close.
Apply a controlled-release fertilizer before new growth begins. Prune in late winter to early spring to shape and refresh the plant, keeping the form compact and full.
In colder regions, site in a protected location and maintain consistent (not soggy) moisture going into winter; foliage color often deepens and blushes as temperatures cool.
