Abelia × Grandiflora Tricolor Charm (‘Mincautri’) (PBR) | 2L Pot

A compact variegated evergreen shrub. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June to October Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) Perfect for sheltered courtyard gardens, the wonderfully compact Tricolor Charm has crimson red stems that bear pink-tinted green and white variegated foliage. Plant as a low hedge or in pots and containers, from July, delicate white, trumpet- shaped flowers bloom until the first frosts. Garden care: When planting Tricolor Charm, incorporate well-rotted compost or manure and a sprinkling of mycorrhizal fungi into the planting hole. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. In autumn, once the flowers have finished, lightly trim back the spent blooms to retain a neat and tidy shape. Remove any dead or damaged stems in April.
