- Striking silver‑white variegation on lively green leaves—color holds from spring through winter on a large‑leafed, stable selection.
- Sweetly scented white flowers in summer to early fall invite pollinators and extend seasonal interest.
- Compact, easy‑care evergreen shrub (in mild climates): about 3–4 ft. tall × 3–4 ft. wide; perfect for low hedges, borders, and containers.
- Adaptable and waterwise once established; thrives in full to partial sun and tolerates coastal exposure.
Lucky Lots Abelia (Abelia × grandiflora ‘Wevo01’, PP26,126) delivers dependable, four‑season color and fragrance in a compact footprint. Its bold, silver‑edged foliage stays vivid from spring through winter, then summer brings a flush of sweetly scented white blooms that attract pollinators. Durable and low‑maintenance with a naturally mounding habit, this versatile shrub shines in foundation plantings, as a tidy low hedge, massed for groundcover color, or as a statement in patio containers.
Plant Description
Evergreen, compact abelia featuring generous silver‑white leaf margins on large, glossy green leaves and red‑tinted stems. Flowers are small, white, and pleasantly fragrant, appearing over a long warm‑season window.
Habit & Size
Moderate growth to a rounded, mounding form about 3–4 ft. tall and 3–4 ft. wide—ideal for small gardens or formal edging without constant pruning.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Clusters of sweetly scented white blooms appear from summer into early fall, adding fragrance and soft contrast to the variegated foliage.
Foliage & Stems
Stable variegation: lively green leaves with broad silver‑white margins retain color from spring through winter; attractive red stems provide year‑round contrast.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun to partial sun. Best variegation and flowering occur with ample light; morning sun with light afternoon shade works well in hotter climates.
Water & Soil
Provide enriched, well‑drained, slightly acidic soil. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish; once established, it prefers regular moisture but tolerates short dry spells.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 7–9 (evergreen in mild regions). With protection from harsh winter extremes, plants may persist in Zone 6 sites.
Special Features
Deer and rabbit resistant; waterwise once established; useful for erosion control on slopes; tolerant of coastal exposure. Pollinator‑friendly.
Landscape Uses
Low hedge or edging, colorful groundcover mass, foundation plant, hillside stabilizer, or a bright container accent for patios and entries.
Care & Pruning
Prune in late winter to early spring to shape (blooms on new wood). Apply a controlled‑release, acid‑forming fertilizer in early spring. Mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.
Spacing & Planting
Space 30–48 inches on center for a continuous low hedge or mass. Plant slightly high in well‑drained soil; water to settle and maintain even moisture while establishing.
