Twist of Mango Abelia is a compact mounding evergreen shrub with bright multi-color leaves on red stems. The bright foliage emerges yellow and mature to gold before turning bronze with golden tints in fall. Dainty clusters of white flowers bloom from summer into fall. Flowers best in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils.
