Radiance Abelia

Abelia x grandiflora 'Radiance' Plant Patent #21929

Radience Abelia has become one of our favorite Abelias. The fragrant white flowers are always a hit with visitors but our favorite part is the deer-resistance that this plant has shown. Hummingbirds always seem to be fluttering around this plant when it's in flower.

Abelia Radiance Shrubs for Sale Online

Radiance Abelia is a Variegated Abelia that has proven itself as a sturdy, low-maintenance abelia shrub that keeps its naturally round, mounded shape all year with little to no pruning. The new spring leaves emerge green with creamy-white edges; as they age, they become silvery-green with bold ivory-yellow edges. Whatever the season, the leaves stand out against the vivid red stems of the branches.

Abelia Radiance produces white fragrant flowers that are always present from early summer through the fall. The tubular flowers are favorites of hummingbirds and honeybees.

Radiance Abelia reaches a maximum height of 3 feet if left untrimmed, making this a perfect choice for a low hedge surrounding patios and walkways. Radiance is also impressive, planted in dark-colored containers, bringing out the creamy white variegation.

This Glossy Abelia plant "pops" when planted against a darker backdrop, such as a backdrop of Arborvitae or Boxwoods. This Abelia even combines well with other members of the Abelia Family, such as Abelia Kaleidoscope.

Abelia Radiance is a proud member of the Southern Living Plant Collection.
