DESCRIPTION
Abelia x grandiflora, commonly known as glossy abelia, is a semi-evergreen shrub admired for its long-lasting blooms and glossy, oval-shaped leaves. From late spring through fall, it produces clusters of delicate, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of white to pale pink, surrounded by a long-lasting red calyx. As the seasons change, the foliage may take on bronze or reddish hues, adding a layer of seasonal interest.

This hybrid originated from a cross between two Abelia species, combining their best traits to create a resilient and ornamental plant. Known for its adaptability and extended flowering season, Abelia x grandiflora is a popular choice for hedges, borders, or foundation plantings, where its elegant blooms and foliage provide year-round appeal.
