Suntastic Peach Abelia is a compact, semi-evergreen shrub with a low-mounding habit and variegated foliage on red stems. The new foliage emerges flushed a frosted pink before maturing to dark green foliage with fine cream to yellow edging and is re-flushed with pink that spreads and intensifies as the weather cools. The fragrant white flowers that bloom though summer into fall are highly attractive to butterflies. Flowers best in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils.
