Miss Lemon™ Abelia – Abelia x grandiflora 'Hopleys' Lemon Zest™– is a semi-evergreen shrub with beautifully variegated leaves. In the spring, the margins are tinted yellow, but as they mature in the summer become a delicate ivory. The centers of the leaves are a stunning shade of green all season long and come fall, take on a coppery hue. Pollinators adore the fragrant pink flowers, and this shrub is deer resistant, making it an instant show-stopper in your landscape.

Miss Lemon Abelia Care

Miss Lemon™ Abelia prefers being planted in well-drained soil. After planting, water until well established, and during drought periods. Prune in the spring before the first flush of growth if needed.

Miss Lemon Abelia Spacing

When establishing a hedge, Plant 3 to 4 feet apart, center-to- center. For foundational plantings with more space between them, plant at least 5 feet apart on center.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty whether you’re new or an expert. There are many variables outside our control and yours that can cause the demise of your plant(s). Examples would be hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, disease, insects & many other factors. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all the unknowns and will replace your plant if it moves on to the plant afterlife.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant purchase. We will cover 100% of the price of the plant but the warranty does not cover shipping cost. Simply let us know if your plant has died within one year of receiving it and we’ll get you a new one shipped out.

    Plants were healthy and well packaged. They traveled well and have transitioned well to the new environment. I will definitely purchase plants from Plant Addicts again.

    I absolutely LOVE the vareigated leaves on this plant! Mine hasn't bloomed yet, so that's why I can only give it 4 stars.
