Abelia × grandiflora, commonly known as glossy abelia, is a hybrid flowering shrub known for its semi-evergreen foliage and delicate, fragrant flowers. This plant typically grows in a rounded, arching form and can reach heights of 3 to 6 feet. Its leaves are small, glossy, and dark green, often tinged with bronze in cooler weather. From late spring through fall, Abelia × grandiflora produces clusters of small, tubular, pink or white flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It is popular in gardens for its long blooming period, attractive foliage, and versatility as a hedge, border, or standalone ornamental shrub.
