Exceptional Variegated Abelia Varieties

Variegated Abelia varieties, such as Miss Lemon and others in our Southern Living Abelia collection, add texture and dynamic color contrast to your garden. These variegated types of Abelia not only brighten landscapes with their foliage but also offer seasonal flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Variegated Abelias thrive as focal points, hedges, or foundation plants, providing captivating color contrasts against darker plants or evergreen backdrops.

Easy-Care and Deer-Resistant Abelia

Gardeners appreciate Abelias for their low-maintenance requirements and impressive resistance to deer browsing. Abelia deer-resistant properties make these shrubs particularly valuable in landscapes frequently visited by wildlife. These hardy shrubs adapt to various soil conditions and tolerate both full sun and partial shade, flourishing with minimal fuss.
