Abelia Lavender Mist

Lavender Mist Abelia

The Lavender Mist Abelia is a semi-deciduous shrub that is favoured for its delicately fragrant flowers. It features green foliage that turns red-purple in autumn. The foliage is complemented with lavender coloured flowers in summer. It grows with an upright habit to about 1.2 m tall and the same wide, though it can be trimmed as necessary. This shrub performs best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, dry periods, and some wind. The Lavender Mist Abelia is commonly added to a mixed planting, included in cottage gardens, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
