Ornamental Features:

lightly-scented shell pink tubular flowers with orange
throats at the ends of the branches from mid summer to
mid fall. It has attractive dark green foliage. The glossy
oval leaves are ornamentally significant and turn an
outstanding coppery-bronze in the fall. The fruit is not
ornamentally significant. The bark and indian red
branches are not particularly outstanding.

shrub with a mounded form. Its average texture blends
into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two
finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective
composition.
This shrub will require occasional maintenance and
upkeep, and should only be pruned after flowering to
avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a
good choice for attracting birds, bees and butterflies to
your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who
tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no
significant negative characteristics.

Plant Characteristics:
Edward Goucher Abelia will grow to be about 5 feet tall at
maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to fill out right to
the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require
facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under
power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal
conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30
years.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It does
best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not
tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type
or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution.
This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
