Silver Anniversary™
Abelia
Abelia grandiflora
This beautiful variegated selection is a sport of ‘Compacta’. Its ability to highlight the landscape is amazing. The rich variegation of silver and green complements the red stems. Dainty white flowers emerge in spring like small wedding bells ringing in celebration.
Silver Anniversary™ is a wonderful addition to the perennial and mixed border garden, and provides season long color with its attractive variegation. It will brighten a semi shady spot. It does not revert like older cultivars, and no pruning is required to maintain its compact habit. Silver Anniversary is a colorful, low maintenance addition to any garden.
White spring flowers. Season long color. Deer resistant.
