For so long the industry has waited for a stable, variegated, durable, compact abelia. Thanks to the keen eye of Panoramic Farm propagator, Randy Lindsey, a star is born.  Spotted as a sport on the well known Abelia × grandiflora ‘Little Richard’ and nursed until stable, ‘Kaleidoscope’ carries forth all the wonderful attributes of it parent, dense growth and high winter leaf retention.  The real attraction of ‘Kaleidoscope’ is the dynamic color it brings to the garden.  Changing color from a wonderful gold margin in spring, intensifying through summer and bursting into harvest colors of red, orange, yellow, and green for late fall and winter, there is little more to ask for from an abelia.

In order to see a nation-wide and world-wide launch appropriate for this breakthrough, Panoramic Farm has appointed PlantHaven, Inc. as manager of licensing and coordinator of marketing and promotions.
