Broadleaf Evergreens: Abelia

Abelia x grandiflora 'Edward Goucher'

Pink Abelia is a compact, multi-stemmed shrub with reddish arching branches. Shiny reddish green foliage and small, trumpet-like pink flowers (with orange throat) all summer long. Abelia grandiflora has glossier leaves than A. x 'Edward Goucher', is a little taller and has white and pink flowers. Semi-evergreen, may drop some leaves under cold conditions. Pruning and dead-heading will enhance flowering.
