Abelia, Edward Goucher
Abelia x grandiflora 'Edward Goucher'
Derived from a cross between Abelia x grandiflora and Abelia schumannii, the Edward Goucher Abelia boasts a captivating blend of features that make it an exceptional choice for any garden. This moderately fast-growing shrub showcases a naturally round growth habit, typically reaching a maximum height and width of four feet, making it an ideal selection for compact spaces.
One of the standout attributes of the Edward Goucher Abelia is its profusion of pink blooms, which grace the plant from spring through frost. Noteworthy is the fact that these blooms emerge solely on new growth, ensuring a continuous display of color throughout the growing season. While optimal flowering is achieved in full sun, this resilient shrub is adaptable enough to thrive in partially shaded areas, ensuring versatility in landscaping designs.
Adding to its allure is the striking foliage transformation throughout the seasons. New growth emerges in a captivating shade of purple, gradually transitioning to a lush green hue during the summer months before culminating in a bronze-green spectacle in the fall, lending visual interest year-round.
Gardeners will appreciate the low-maintenance nature of the Edward Goucher Abelia, as it exhibits minimal susceptibility to pests and requires little upkeep. A simple application of fertilizer in late winter is all that is needed to support its healthy growth and prolific blooming.
