I don't recall ever seeing my rose creek abelias getting over 3 ft but I didn't keep them that long enough. I wanted to try Azaleas out so those abelies got shoveled out.

Sunny Abelia is pretty cool with colorful flowers but you'd have to order one online and have them delivered. I have no idea where you'd find them locally.

âÂÂKaleidoscopeâ is another option that you can find at Home Depot. Pretty neat colorful leaves.

They're pretty easy to care for once established.

I am a fan of kaleidoscope. I have 1 in ground and 3 in red pots. They are easy and will put out an occasional long shoot but nothing like the big ones....not in the slightest!

Thank you! I will look into the kaleidoscope also.
