Abelia grandiflora 'Magic Daydream'

Abelia x grandiflora 'Magic Daydream' is an ornamental shrub known for its decorative foliage that colors dramatically in the autumn season and is partially preserved in the cold season (semi-evergreen), but also for its delicate, white flowers.

General features:
- Foliage : The leaves are oval, small in size, with a variable color throughout the year. In the spring, the leaves are yellow-green, and as the season progresses and the seasons change, the color also changes. The foliage is partially evergreen - the plant sheds part of its leaves during the cold season.
- Flowers : It produces small, tubular, white-pink flowers, with a delicate shape and pleasant fragrance. The flowers appear from summer to autumn, adding a prolonged decorative effect.

Appearance and growth:
- Shape : It is a compact, dense shrub with a rounded and orderly growth.
- Dimensions : It can reach a height of 0.8-1.5 meters and a similar width, which makes it suitable for medium and small gardens.
- Growth : It has a moderate growth, being easy to maintain and shape.

Durability and care :
- Partial evergreen : In milder winters, it keeps its leaves throughout the year, while in colder winters it may lose some of them.
- Cold resistance : Abelia 'Magic Daydream' is resistant to -10°C, but it also survives at lower temperatures in the short term. This aspect is significantly influenced by the location in the garden and the exposure to the wind/blizzard - it is recommended to plant in a position that protects the plant as much as possible.

- Soil and location : It prefers sunny or partially shaded places and well-drained soils, rich in organic matter. It adapts well to urban conditions.
- Care : It needs light pruning to maintain its shape and to stimulate flowering. It is fairly drought tolerant once well established.

Ornamental uses :
- Borders and groups : Due to its compact size and variable colors, it is ideal for planting in borders or mixed groups.
- Low hedges : Can be used as a decorative hedge, providing color and structure throughout the year.
- Large pots : Being a compact shrub, it can also be planted in large pots, decorating terraces or balconies.
