Abelia
Abelia x grandiflora ‘ABLR-PII’
WABELMIL
A luminous addition to any sunny spot, 'Milky Way' is a compact, semi-evergreen shrub prized for its consistent, stable variegation. Its unique "beadlike" foliage creates a shimmering green-and-white texture that transitions beautifully into soft pink hues as the weather cools. Throughout the summer, fragrant white blossoms emerge, acting as a magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Whether tucked into a shrub border or featured in a patio container, this reliable performer responds beautifully to trimming and maintains its tidy habit with ease.
