#ProPlantTips for Care:

Abelia are very easy-to-grow ornamentals and do best in full sun and even part shade are adaptable to a variety of well-draining soils and are 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 as they established and after that 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 pruning to maintain their natural form in the late winter.

It's quite simply a delightful shrub with a lot to offer! These deciduous Abelia are known for having a strong root system and are wonderfully easy to grow! Even the neighborhood deer will leave it alone unless they are desperate!

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
• Any Well-Drained Soil
• Prune Late Winter
• Low-Maintenance & Deer Resistant
