Abelia grandiflora

Abelia is a bushy and dense growing shrub. It usually reaches a height of 1.5 - 2 m and is approx. 1 - 1.5 m wide. It usually grows 15 - 30 cm per year.

The wintergreen leaves of the Abelia are dark green, lanceolate. They are about 3 - 4 cm in size. Abelia turns bright bronze in autumn.

The light pink, bell-shaped flowers appear from July to October. They grow to around 3 - 4 cm in size.

Abelia grandiflora is a heartroot.

Preferred location in a sunny to semi-shady, wind-protected position.

Winter protection is advisable in unprotected areas of the garden.

Standard container plant soil.
Normal soil.

Tubs, ornamental shrubs

The plant has a medium water requirement.

Over time, the soil loses some of its important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil every two years in spring.

Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the soil is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).

Fertilise potted plants: Every 2 weeks from March to September.
