Grower's Notes:
Glossy Abelia enjoys fairly rich, moist, well-drained soil in a full sun or lightly shaded location. It has no thorns and good drought tolerance. Plants become thin and unattractive in the shade and do not flower.  It has pink fragrant flowers spring, summer and fall. The flowers are smaller than that of the Edward Goucher Abelia.  
  
In fall and winter, the foliage turns a copper color, and the plants generally remain full.
Suggested Usage:
Plant on 4 to 6 foot centers to form a screen or foundation planting, slightly closer for a hedge.
