stanleysusieq said: I'm still trying to get to the bottom of our Abelia plants. We had twenty-four Abelia Radiance's planted this past fall, but they seem to be more coppery toned like an Abelia Kaleidoscope, which is not what we ordered. Can anyone identify this plant?


I have trimmed your pic and zoomed in.Even them it is hard to make out any detail from your image...to know what the variegation of the leaves look like ...cannot see any flowers to see if they are white.

Are the leaves green with cream/white on the edges
OR
Yellow and green?

"Radiance' _ 'Radiance' is a compact, mound-forming, semi-evergreen shrub with arching, reddish-brown branches bearing ovate, shallowly toothed, mid-green leaves, cream to white at the margins. Panicles of fragrant, funnel-shaped, white flowers with pale pink calyces bloom from late summer into autumn."

"'Kaleidoscope' _ 'Kaleidoscope' is a compact, rounded, semi-evergreen, shrub with arching branches bearing ovate, glossy, yellow and green variegated leaves turning shades of orange and red in autumn and, in summer, terminal panicles of pink buds opening to fragrant, funnel-shaped, white flowers."

Your leaves do appear to have turned red...which points to Kaleidoscope.
