Deer & Browsing Animals
Kaleidoscope Abelia is generally considered deer resistant. While no plant is completely deer-proof, the foliage is typically not palatable to deer, making it a reliable choice for gardens where browsing pressure is a concern.
Drought Tolerance
Kaleidoscope Abelia is drought tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes, xeriscaping, and low-irrigation gardens.
