#ProPlantTips for Care:
These deciduous Abelia are known for having a strong root system and are relatively hardy throughout USDA planting zones 6-9. Even the neighborhood deer will leave it alone! Abelia does best in full sun and even part shade, is adaptable to a variety of well-draining soils and is very easy to care for. Thriving best in slightly acidic soils, these shrubs have low watering needs once established. Water well through their first year but afterward, your Abelia is pretty tough!
Apply a three-inch layer of mulch over the root system, but pull it back six inches from the stems, and reapply as needed. They don't need much in the way of pruning to maintain their natural form in the late winter.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Prune Late Winter
- Low-Maintenance & Deer Resistant
