Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

This rounded, semi-evergreen shrub has a graceful arching habit that makes a lovely feature in sunny borders. From July to October, the stems play host to clusters of lilac-pink, tubular flowers with a delicate honey fragrance. Cloaked in bright green leaves throughout summer, Abelia 'Edward Goucher' turns to muted shades of bronze with the onset of autumn. This RHS AGM variety is a popular choice for cottage garden borders and makes an pleasing hedge too. Height: 150cm (59"). Spread: 200cm (78").

Plant Abelia x grandiflora in garden borders in any fertile, well drained garden soil, in full sun. Alternatively grow Abelia plants in patio containers using soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.

Feed and water container-grown plants regularly. Deadhead faded Abelia flowers to prolong the flowering season. In exposed areas or those where winters are severe, apply a deep bark mulch around the base of Glossy Abelia plants in autumn to protect the roots from winter cold. Take care not to mound mulch up against the main stem. Alternatively protect with horticultural fleece. In late spring, trim Abelia x grandiflora lightly and remove any shoots which spoil the symmetry of the plant.
