Sunny Anniversary® Abelia

Keep your garden or landscape on the sunny side with Sunny Anniversary abelia! It’s the only abelia with yellow blooms, and each one is a little work of art: buttery yellow petals, with a deep pink throat and bright yellow freckles. Hundreds of them nestle within the layers of glossy, semi-evergreen foliage, emitting a sweet fragrance all summer long. Plant Sunny Anniversary abelia as a specimen, low hedge, edging plant, or anywhere you need carefree summer color. Deer resistance, as well as the ability to thrive in shade and dry soils, ensure great results with minimal effort.

Sunny Anniversary abelia is hardy to USDA zone 6, possibly USDA zone 5 if planted in a protected spot.
