1. Abelia Grandiflora
Abelia Grandiflora, known as Glossy Abelia, is a semi-evergreen dwarf shrub from the Caprifoliaceae family. Its young stems are reddish-brown and have short soft hairs.
The leaves are ovate and dark green with a glossy finish, while its bell-shaped flowers are white. Its inflorescences are conical and bloom profusely. The flowering period is extensive, lasting from May to November.
Glossy Abelia results from a crossbreed between the Chinese native species “nuo mi tiao” and the singular-flowered abelia, with its blossoms being roughly twice the size of the “nuo mi tiao”.
The flowers, white with a hint of pink, resemble funnels, and the plant can grow up to 1.5 meters tall. It possesses a strong creeping ability, with its slender branches exhibiting a reddish hue.
