Abelia grandiflora ‘Sunshine Daydream’ is an elegant Glossy Abelia grown for its colourful foliage and dainty flowers. The leaves on this evergreen are a combination of green, salmon, cream, and white. Small, white flowers produced in summer, add another dimension to this already attractive plant. It typically grows to 50 cm tall and 80 cm wide, performing best when grown in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site. It is tolerant of moderate frost, coastal environments, and short periods of dry. Abelia ‘Sunshine Daydream’ is a fantastic plant for adding variety and colour, and for this reason it is a popular choice for borders, mixed plantings, courtyard and cottage gardens, planting around outdoor living areas, or for maintaining in a container. It readily blends with most plant combinations which is why it is a popular choice among landscape designers.
