Sunrise Glossy Ableia is a unique cultivar featuring striking variegated leaves in shades of green-yellow and cream, complemented by fragrant pale pink blooms. This plant was first identified at Taylor's Nursery in Raleigh, North Carolina. It thrives in dense shade and consistently retains its yellow variegation, unlike many other cultivars that often revert to green. This makes it an ideal choice for accentuating garden spaces, serving as a privacy screen, or functioning as a hedge or part of a shrub border.
