#ProPlantTips for Care:
Radiance Abelia grows well in either full sun or part shade, with at least four hours of sunlight each day. They'll need well-drained soil and a moderate amount of supplemental water during the first season and during dry weather. Preferring slightly acidic soils and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the root system. Add life-long support for your landscape investment with symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster used in the planting hole.
Deer don't prefer the taste of Abelia, however, if you live in an area with heavy deer pressure, we always recommend using repellent on the day you plant and reapply according to the label directions. It blooms on new wood, so prune to shape up your Abelia each year in early spring. Every few years, remove a few of the thickest, oldest stems at that time to keep your shrub vigorous.
