Abelia grandiflora

Yes ... mine also survived and flowered ..
It was quite a new shrub for me and I wasn't sure what to expect !

I've had one before, but wasn't able to give this one a very sheltered site - my only problem is that it's grown faster/bigger than I expected!

Yours looks lovely against the foliage background ..
How tall is your Abelia, and the conifer behind ?
Do you trim those ?

The conifer is actually below! It's a very small, low one. No trimming, it's very slow growing. The abelia is a different matter. I'm trying to keep it low - not more than about 3ft. It would like to be much bigger, I think but seems to thrive (and flower low) on my heavy pruning!

Thanks... Useful info. I'll be aware that my Abelia will need pruning. At the moment, mine is quite a young shrub.
