Features
Pink Piñata abelia brings a tidy, festive pop to the front of the border. It thrives where other plants struggle—handling heat, deer pressure, and even replacing boxwood in blight-prone areas. In mid-spring, branch tips swell with pale pink flowers and deep coral bracts; by fall, the foliage and bracts shift to rich burgundy, highlighting its naturally rounded form. Compact at just 3' tall and wide, it can also be shaped with proper timing.

Maintenance Notes:Abelia are easy care plants that need little regular maintenance. It can be lightly trimmed to shape in spring after the new growth begins to emerge if you wish. If you decide to prune in the summer, you'll likely remove some flowers, but the plant will be just fine. This is a semi-evergreen plant in warm gardens and deciduous in cool gardens.
