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.
