Noted for its stable variegated foliage, award-winning Abelia x grandiflora ‘Hopleys’ is a compact, semi-evergreen shrub with a luminous foliage of bright green leaves adorned with buttery yellow edges in spring, gradually fading to ivory-white.

Their attractive creamy-white calyces further brighten the overall display.
