Landscape Notes: Funshine Abelia quite literally outshines all others. Golden foliage emerges in tons of marmalade orange and sweet caramel, so Funshine Abelia never looks dull in the landscape. Fragrant soft purple flowers appear all summer. Like other Abelias, it is highly deer resistant and exhibits good color and flowering even on dry, shady sites.
Exposure/Culture: Funshine Abelia prefers a moist, well drained soil. It thrives in partial to full sun locations.
Other Notes: Funshine Abelia are easy care plants that need little regular maintenance. Funshine Abelia rarely creates the long, errant shoots you sometimes see on other varieties, but it can be lightly trimmed to shape in spring, after the new growth begins to emerge.
