An exceptionally adaptable and tough but pretty flowering shrub, 'Miss Lemon' is a dwarf Abelia that sports colorful tricolor foliage in shades of white, yellow and dark green. Abundant clusters of fragrant, bell-shaped, soft pink to white flowers are produced during summer and into fall that the butterflies and hummingbirds will enjoy. At only 2.5 to 3 feet in height with a slightly larger spread, Miss Lemon is a good fit as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a natural or trimmed hedge in sunny to shady home foundation plantings and landscape borders. In our gardens it has demonstrated superior resistance to heat, humidity, disease and drought, and insects and deer don't touch it. A great plant for adding unique texture and color that will light up any garden space.
