ABELIA \ngrandiflora \nA medium-sized rounded shrub with arching branches and small, glossy, dark green, oval-shaped leaves. \nUsually semi-evergreen, meaning it will lose some leaves in winter but in colder regions or in exposed gardens it may lose all of them. \nFrom June the branches are awash with small, bell or trumpet shaped white flowers with a pink tinge. \nSlightly fragrant, the flowers are long lasting and this floral display often continues well into autumn \nExcellent when used to add a little extra structure to a mixed shrub or herbaceous border and also very effective planted against a wall where its late flowering can be enjoyed. \nGreat choice for a cottage style garden. \nAbelia grandiflora is unfussy when it comes to soil type but likes it moist and well-drained. \nFull sun or partial shade is fine but does need a sheltered position as cold winter winds may scorch the leaves. \nRegularly dead-heading will prolong the flowering season and the plant should be lightly pruned after flowering to help keep in neat. \nAny dead or damaged branches should be removed in spring. \nRoyal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit (AGM). \nAll pictures used are of mature plants in bloom, they are for illustration purposes only and may not reflect the plant at all times of the year. \nOur plants of Abelia grandiflora are supplied ex. 10cm pots, they can be planted out immediately but better results may be obtained if they are grown on for a short time in a slightly larger container before transplanting to their final growing positions \nPACK 1 PLANT \nIMMEDIATE \n \nWhen ordering dates may vary a little if harvest or weather conditions are difficult. \nWe ask all our buyers to remember plants are living items and their appearance changes with the seasons.  Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the .
