Image of Abelia

Evergreen rounded hybrid shrub with arching branches (2m x 1.5m) from two Chinese species. Glossy dark green leaves. Bell shaped white flowers tinged with pink followed by persistent coppery brown sepals. Useful as a screen, clipped hedge or contrast in shrubbery. Prefers a protected position, therefore part shade is preferred, but full sun is tolerated. Remove old woody stems.
