Beautiful, tubular, trumpet-shaped blooms produce a fragrance of sweet honey scent which attract bees and butterflies. Thriving in borders or containers, Abelia can also be used as informal hedging. Collection comprises; Francis Mason - the Glossy Abelia with oval, shiny, yellow-green leaves which are tinted with warm red-orange shades when young, clusters of pink blush flowers from midsummer into the autumn, height 1.5m, spread 2m, hardy to -10 C; Sherwood - a relatively compact plant with glossy dark green foliage which turns a slight shade of bronze in autumn, white blooms in summer, which graduate to pink, height 1.3m, spread 1.5m, hardy to -15 C; and x grandiflora Lucky Lots - a beautiful low growing shrub with silver-green variegated foliage which changes to an autumnal orange hue from September, pure white blooms throughout the summer months, height and spread 1m, hardy to -20 C. The Blooming Abelia Collection are simple to grow and look after, being winter hardy, and prefer to be grown in moist, well-drained soil, in a sunny aspect, with shelter from the coldest winds.
