Description
Confetti Dwarf Abelia is both low growing and low maintenance. As with most other Abelia grandiflora, Confetti is one of the toughest but prettiest plants in our gardens. The variegated foliage of Confetti appears as almost-white in the landscape forming dense, low mounds. In winter the foliage takes on a pretty, rosy-pink cast. Mildly fragrant, small white flowers produced during summer attract butterflies. This Abelia has demonstrated excellent resistance to drought, disease, insects, and deer.

Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Confetti Dwarf Abelia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a border in landscape borders and home foundation plants. Can also be useful planted in mass on embankments, hillsides and slopes for erosion control It's the perfect choice for underplanting a crape myrtle, taller growing upright Japanese maple, chaste tree (Vitex), or other small trees. Combines especially well with other plants and trees that have purple, red or dark green foliage, such as Loropetalums, purple leaved Crape myrtles, and red-leaved Japanese maples.
A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, white theme gardens, Asian-themed gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs)

Growing Preferences
Confetti Dwarf Abelia is very easy to grow in most any average soil in full sun to part shade. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil however is exceptionally tolerant of dry soil conditions when established. Maintenance is minimal. We prune our Abelia for shaping purposes one time a year in late winter or early spring. That said, plants respond very well to shearing for hedges or formal shapes. Evergreen in the southern zones where it grows and might be semi-deciduous some winters in zones north of 7a-7b.
