Abelia x grandiflora 'Edward Goucher'

Discontinued

Edward Goucher is a cross between Abelia x grandiflora and Abelia schumannii. A moderately fast growing shrub with a natural round growth habit, rarely seen growing over four feet in height and width.

An excellent choice for a small hedge or border that responds well to pruning, with pink blooms appearing only on new growth from spring to frost. Planting in full sun provides best display of blooms -- however it can still provide some color when grown in filtered shade. New foliage is purple, turning green through the summer then bronze-green in the fall.

 Edward Goucher has very few pest problems and maintenance free. Fertilizer is best applied in late winter.
