What they are saying about 'Kaleidoscope'

● “We are very pleased with the overall performance of Kaleidoscope. The color and texture contrast of Abelia Kaleidoscope creates a beautiful landscape. It has worked well for us because of its low growth habit; it requires little or no maintenance, and it does not put out excessive long shoots as other Abelias tend to do. It can also withstand harsh roadway conditions such as heat, drought stress, auto emissions, and road salt. Abelia Kaleidoscope is a great plant to consider in a variety of applications.”
– City of Charlotte, NC Landscape Management Department
 
● "The rainbow of colors displayed by Kaleidoscope Abelia is a joyful delight to enjoy in your garden throughout the entire year. There are deciduous shrubs that have similar color, but no other evergreen shrub exudes such vibrant color as this unique Abelia! While growing in a shapely compact form, it is suitable for any sunny landscape, and as an added bonus, it has drought tolerance. With all of the wonderful attributes it has, one would think, it is a dream come true."
– Ashleigh Geremia, Landscape Designer with Designia, Inc. of Charlotte, NC

● "Evergreen…colorful…durable. Kaleidoscope sells itself!"
– Jon Reelhorn, Owner, Belmont Nursery, Fresno, CA

● "Our customers love Kaleidoscope. Landscapers like to mass it for a bright, eye catching splash, and garden centers love it because it sells! They're the best and toughest of the variegated abelias."
– Gilbert’s Nursery, Chesnee, SC

 ● “…really packs a wallop…specimens are vigorous yet compact, colorful to a fault, do not bleach in the sun, and catch visitors’ eyes…held a full complement of leaves through the winter…I believe this plant’s more evergreen nature will make it a commercial success.”
– Dr. Michael Dirr, University of Georgia, Nursery Management & Production

  ● “Durable and astonishingly beautiful, with constantly swirling color throughout the seasons..”
