    I received the Abelia in short time and in pristine shape. It was packaged beautifully. It is in the ground, is healthy, and even has a blossom already! I am becoming a Plant Addict addict!!!

    Great Color

    Posted by CarolSouth on Jul 23, 2019

    I received three healthy little bushes during our recent heat wave (high 90s). I'll wait awhile before planting so they can adjust. The great foliate color is going to help break up a big line of green that I have. The color is very similar to the photo.
