Glossy Abelia

Abelia grandiflora, commonly known as Glossy Abelia, produces masses of mauve and white flowers in clusters throughout summer. The foliage comprises finely textured, glossy, green leaves held on arching, red-brown stems as it grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide. Abelia grandiflora is commonly trimmed into a hedge, planted around outdoor living areas, added to a mixed planting, included in cottage gardens, or used as a stunning backdrop for smaller plants.
