Description

(Abelia) Who doesn't love a shrub that provides multi-season interest in the garden? If you are looking for that feature in a plant, then Poco Loco® Abelia is for you. Starting in spring, Poco Loco® Abelia has foliage in shades of yellow and orange. That foliage then changes to green with pinkish-red new growth, which is followed in summer with a profusion of pink bell-shaped flowers that perfume the air and attract pollinators. Poco Loco® Abelia has a compact, mounded shape making it a great fit for many gardens, whether large or small. It is a semi-evergreen shrub for zones 6-9 and grows 2-3 feet high and wide, growing best in a full to part sun location with average moisture and well-drained soil. Once established, Poco Loco® can tolerate some dry soil conditions. This deer-resistant shrub is well suited as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or as a low hedge. Any trimming should be done in early spring as the flowers are produced on new growth. Poco Loco® Abelia is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.

My poco loco is doing great.

Purchased 8 shrubs and planted them along the driveway. Used hardwood mulch to fill in the area. I planted them

Purchased 8 shrubs and planted them along the driveway. Used hardwood mulch to fill in the area. I planted them 3 weeks ago and they are blooming right now. For the size of the shrub, I’m surprised they took off so quickly. I cannot wait till next spring to see them take off and add curb appeal.

It adds a lot of interest to my garden. My husband wanted something that was green all year, and I didn't want boxwood. I found this, and I love it. Flowers like crazy all summer and the bees and butterflies love it.
