The ‘Magic Daydream’ is a wonderful little shrub with so much to offer due to its ever-changing interest throughout the growing season. The leaves alone are a kaleidoscope of colours: their main colour is dark green and they have variegated cream margins, plus new leaves have a rosy blush, making this a wonderfully colourful plant based on the foliage alone. To add to this, from June to October an abundance of sweetly scented flowers appear and these start out white and mature to pink. The star-shaped flowers sit nestled amongst the glossy foliage and give off a delightful fragrance, making this a great choice for sensory planting. If you want to attract more bees and butterflies to your garden then this Abelia will do the trick.  Eventually the 'Magic Daydream' will grow to have a compact, bushy habit, making it the perfect choice for planting in a pot on a sunny patio. If you want a planting partner then we love this alongside the golden green foliage of the Spiraea japonica 'Golden Princess'. Give this Abelia protection in winter if you are in a colder area.
