A vibrant tri-color foliage show! For gardeners on the hunt for elegant, but interesting foliage. Tres Amigos abelia seems to change each time you visit it out in the garden. In spring it starts out with green, cream, pink, and yellow-tinged foliage. Its most vibrant color is yellow, bringing sunshine into the slowly filling garden. By summer, the yellow has left completely and the pink edge on the leaf takes over. The new growth at the end of each stem is almost entirely a warm watermelon pink with sporadically placed white flowers. Each flower is fluted, perfect for inviting hummingbirds and butterflies into the garden, and has a lovely jasmine-like fragrance. Its compact habit suits it nicely for use at the front of the border, in containers, and in mixed borders with perennials and annuals.

This little hydrangea is extremely compact with great branching, and is much easier to manage in production. Deep green leaves are a beautiful backdrop for the late summer flowers that are held up on strong and sturdy stems. Born in a tight cluster, the blossoms are initially green and open to a creamy white. As evening temperatures drop in the fall, the petals turn antique shades of green. The small size, reduced need for pruning, and large flowers make this an ideal choice for smaller landscapes where larger traditional hydrangeas won’t fit.
