Abstract

A new cultivar of Abelia named ‘Pink’ which exhibits a compact upright plant habit in its first year of growth and a dense mounding and spreading plant habit in its second and subsequent years of growth. The stems of ‘Pink’ are mid-red to dark-red in color. The foliage of ‘Pink’ is variegated, with green centers and narrow pink marginal bands, the pink color of which intensifies through the season, changing from white or pale pink in winter and early spring, to deep pink by mid-summer. The flower buds of ‘Pink’ are white and mauve-pink in color and the flowers of ‘Pink’ become pure white in color when fully expanded. In combination, these characteristics. In combination, these traits distinguish ‘Pink’ from all other varieties of Abelia known to the inventor.
