Glossy Abelia

Abelia grandiflora Common Glossy is the standard abelia for this area. It has many cultivars, some of which we carry. It is semi-evergreen in our Zone 7b, depending on the severity of the winter, multi-branched with fragrant, showy, tubular white blossoms that repeat throughout warm weather. Glossy Abelia can be used to make a thick floral hedge. *Deer Resistant*             Attracts Birds, Butterflies & other beneficial pollinators Photo courtesy of Toms Creek Nursery in Denton, NC (336) 857-2131 Ornamental Characteristics Category Flowering Shrub Foilage Type Broadleaf semi-evergreen Height 4' - 6' Spread 4' - 6' Shape Upright, arching Primary Foliage Color (Glossy) Green Seasonal Foilage Color Reddish Flowering Season Early Summer to Frost Flower Color White w/ light pink sepals Pollinator Friendly Yes.
