An Abelia for Any Location!

Abelias are evergreen to semi evergreen medium size woody shrubs. Their small leaves can be dark green or a combination of colors with many varieties acquiring different colors during cold snaps. But wait there is more! These plants take it further and have beautiful tubular flowers that bloom from late spring through fall, depending on the variety. Flower color can be white, pink or even lavender. Some are scented as well.

How to use the landscape:

Several varieties like glossy and pink are great for a sheared formal hedge while others like Rose Creek can also be used as a more informal hedge. Many like Kaleidoscope and Vanilla Brandy make great container plants as well.

They prefer sun to partial shade and protection from the hottest afternoon sun. Water requirements are low to medium. Pollinators like bees, and butterflies are attracted to Abelia as well as hummingbirds!
