Little Richard Abelia

The Little Richard Abelia is famous for:

• fragrant blooms that last up to nine months
• fast growth into a compact form (3 ft. tall & wide)
• low maintenance, very easy to grow
• grows in full sun to almost full shade

The Little Richard Abelia is compact enough to fit in the tightest spots in your garden... yet it displays fragrant blooms for up to 9 months. It’s nearly maintenance-free.

Glossy emerald green foliage provides a lush backdrop for Little Richard Abelia’s trumpet-shaped blooms. These flowers last from spring until the first frost. This Abelia’s unique flowers are creamy white with deep pink accents.

As fall approaches in the colder regions, its deep green foliage will begin to turn lovely shades of bronze and copper. In warmer areas, your Abelia’s foliage will remain green all year.

Maturing to just 3 feet tall, your Little Richard Abelia can be planted in rows for a lovely foundation hedge. With its upright and naturally rounded shape, this shrub can be grown in small groupings. Looks great in a mixed bed of other flowering shrubs such as Hydrangeas or Azaleas.

Plant this little shrub around your patio to enjoy its pleasant fragrance and bright blooms. Be sure to keep your binoculars handy because this beauty is a popular attraction for butterflies and humming birds. Hardy in growing zones 6-9.
