Description

Throughout the summer, Chinese Abelia will be covered in massive clusters of fragrant, white, bell-shaped flowers that butterflies love - providing the best floral display of all the abelias! The shrub will reach about 6 feet tall and wide with countless branches that become arched with the weight of the flowers. The arching branches give the shrub a very free, wispy look that will soften the look of your garden. Be sure to plant where you can enjoy the butterflies that are sure to flock to it - maybe near the edge of a patio or along a fence. Abelia chinensis makes a handsome hedge.
