"With dark purple leaves year-round, it's the perfect pick for cold weather color in the landscape," suggests Tamony. It grows in USDA Zones 7-10 reaching 2-3 feet high by 3-4 feet wide. Abelia
It is a hardy plant that grows to zone 5, and in mild climates it is grown as a winter green. In warm conditions it tends to bolt to seed, [3] producing much-branched stems with clusters of flowers. The flowers have a bluish-white corolla of five fused petals, 1.5 to 2 mm (1 ⁄ 16 to 5 ⁄ 64 in) long and wide, and three stamens.
Considered a crop for cool-temperate climates, the mangelwurzel sown in autumn can be grown as a winter crop in warm-temperate to subtropical climates. Both leaves and roots may be eaten. Leaves can be lightly steamed for salads or lightly boiled as a vegetable if treated like spinach or chard, which is a member of the same subspecies. Grown in ...
