Commonly Asked Questions
Where is the best place to plant Abelia?
Abelias prefer full sun or partial shade areas. They will grow best in soil that is slightly acidic and drains well. You can also add organic compost or mulch to increase the acidity in the soil. Dig a hole as deep as the roots and twice as wide.
Should I cut back an Abelia?
Pruning abelias is necessary to help retain their graceful shape. Use pruning shears to cut back the main stems to the ground every winter or early spring, which avoids removing new growth. Cutting back the shrub helps to promote healthier, more vigorous stems, creating an arching formation.
Is Abelia an evergreen plant?
If you want a shrub that flowers over a long period from summer to autumn, is usually evergreen, happy in most soils, and offers colour even after flowering, abelia has all of these qualities. And, to save one of its best attributes until last, the blooms are scented.
Are Abelia hardy?
Growing up to 3 meters tall and wide, Abelia Grandiflora is a hardy shrub that is easy to care for and adapts well to a variety of soil conditions. With a long blooming season from Summer to Autumn, this attractive shrub is sure to make a statement in your garden.
Can Abelia be grown in pots?
Try to avoid a spot that is exposed to harsh winds as the young leaves of Abelia can get damaged. Abelias are also well-suited for container growing, particularly the more petite varieties, and need little attention once established.
