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)

Spacing Recommendations: 2 feet apart for solid hedges, 5 feet or more apart for space between plants

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.

A 5-gal shrub I recently ordered was delayed by FedEx shipping problems and arrived 5 days later than projected. It was still in great condition and equal in size to what is in my local nursery (if they had had the variety I wanted). I am very impressed by Wilson Bros and will definitely use them as my go to online nursery. I particularly like the large sizes I am able to get from them.———————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

The 2 abelias arrived very quickly and were packed in their containers such that I’m not sure the plants “knew” they had been moved. They are very healthy and I’m anxiously awaiting the beautiful pink and white coloration to show. Right now they are pretty much green.———————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review!

We received two of these abelia with a few other plants ordered at the same time. These two were well packaged, and in a large container, but the bush part looked pretty worn and tired! I realize it’s what’s in the ground that counts most, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed, hope they’re happy where we’ve planted them, and help for the best in Spring. ———————— WBG Reply: Hi Leslie – Thanks for providing your review on the Confetti Abelia. This is one of those plants that never looks near as full and nice as it does once planted in the ground and it’s roots have more space to grow. The plants should do fine after planting and fill out nicely in spring. We stand behind every plant we grow so rest assured if there’s any problems. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens

Confetti came fast and looks great
