Lemon Lime Dwarf Abelia – 3 Gallon Pot

Lemon Lime Abelia has many uses in the landscape. Its smaller size makes it an ideal selection for an accent or specimen in smaller landscape spaces, and also does quite well in medium size pots (at least 15 inches in diameter), provided the drainage is good. In larger landscape spaces, we use it in small to large groupings or mass plantings on embankments, or as a low hedge. It’s the perfect choice for underplanting a crape myrtle, taller growing upright Japanese maples, chaste tree (Vitex), or other small trees. Stunning when combined 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 Asian/Japanese Gardens, Butterfly Gardens, Cottage Gardens, Perennial Gardens, Rock Gardens, Xeriscape Gardens (Low Water needs).
