This fine-textured, light green shrub adds variety and height in your border plantings.
As an informal hedge, it looks more graceful when just lightly pruned.
The picturesque flowers, less than one-inch long, are a lilac-pink bell shape with orange throats, resembling a honeysuckle blossom. The blooms are present from April through frost and provide a lovely scent.
Perfectly content in full sun or partial shade, Edward Goucher Abelia blends well in a dark-green border, on a sunny exposure, or at corners to soften your garden look.
A moderate grower, 4-6 feet tall and 5 feet wide, this Abelia prefers acidic soil but is adaptable to many soil conditions-loamy, sandy, or clay.
It tolerates heavy pruning and stem kill-back in winter to return to liveliness in the Spring.
Add this lovely, tall shrub that gives many returns for little attention.
