Abelia Francis Mason Variegated Evergreen Shrub Plant 2L Pot

Abelia × grandiflora 'Francis Mason' is a semi-evergreen flowering shrub with a bushy, arching habit, grown for its golden variegated foliage and fragrant pale pink flowers. Blooming from July to October, it brings long-lasting colour to the garden, with leaves edged in golden yellow and green centres creating a bright, distinctive display.

Suitable for borders, low informal hedging and patio containers, this variety also works well in wildlife-friendly planting schemes. The foliage can develop bronze tones in cooler months, extending its seasonal appeal beyond the flowering period. Supplied in a 2L pot, it offers a graceful presence with both flower and foliage interest.
