Product Description

Abelia × grandiflora 'BRMGold' PBR, commonly known as Abelia Lemon & Lime, is a compact evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub prized for its striking variegated foliage. Its vibrant lime-green leaves with creamy-yellow margins create year-round colour, making it an excellent choice for hedging, borders, feature planting, and decorative containers.

During the warmer months, masses of small, lightly fragrant white flowers bloom above the colourful foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Its naturally dense growth habit makes it an outstanding low-maintenance hedge, while its colourful foliage provides continuous visual interest even when not in flower.

Supplied in a hedge pot, this well-established shrub is ideal for creating formal hedges, colourful garden borders, and attractive landscape features in both residential and commercial gardens.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
