Peach Perfection Abelia is a compact rounded semi-evergreen shrub with attractive multi-color leaves on red stems. The foliage emerges bright orange and gradually turns to yellow then green as it matures, and returns to oranges and yellows in fall. The dainty clusters of white flowers that bloom in summer contrast against long-lasting sepals that darken to pink. Flowers best in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils. Peach Perfection has improved heat and sun tolerance.
