Tres Amigo Abelia is a compact mounded evergreen shrub with splendid tricolor foliage. New growth emerges warm pink, shifts to green with cream and yellow variegation and by summer the yellow is replaced by pink. Fragrant white flowers bloom continuously through summer into fall. Flowers best in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils.
