Abelia x grandiflora
Abelia come in many different varieties. They can be deciduous or evergreen, shrubs or small trees, and can have paired or whorled leaves. Their flowers can be funnel shaped or trumpet shaped, but they are always scented, and the plant produces masses of them from June to October. They add a beautiful splash of colour to your garden in the autumn; depending on the variety the leaves will change to red, bronze, or purple. This hybrid will not have seeds because it is sterile, so even if you plant the fruit it will not grow. If you want to propagate your Abelia x grandiflora you can do so using cuttings.
Abelia x grandiflora (also known as Glossy Abelia) is easy to grow, but not fully hardy. It can grow to 5m tall with a spread of 5m and is happiest in full sun or dappled shade. Before you water your Abelia x grandiflora you must check how moist the soil is, you should provide water when the top 2 inches are dry. If you are growing your Abelia in a pot, then it will require more water.
This plant is safe for pets and babies and is usually not troubled by diseases or pests. You won’t need to prune your Glossy Abelia much to keep it looking tidy, but over winter you may want to remove any parts that are diseased or damaged.
