EDWARD GOUCHER ABELIA 5gal

Want to bring a profusion of fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers and attractive foliage to your Prescott garden? The Edward Goucher Abelia is a delightful semi-evergreen shrub that offers beauty throughout much of the year! It's known for its arching branches adorned with small, glossy, dark green leaves that often take on bronze or purplish hues in the cooler months. From summer through fall, it produces masses of charming, lilac-pink flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies with their sweet fragrance. This abelia typically grows to a manageable size of 4 feet tall and wide, fitting beautifully into borders, foundation plantings, or even as a low hedge.

Plant your Edward Goucher Abelia in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade; it flowers best with plenty of sunlight. While it's relatively drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture during the hot Prescott summers will keep it looking its best. Abelias are generally considered deer resistant, which is a wonderful bonus for our area! To give your abelia a great start and encourage abundant blooms, amend the planting area with Watters Premium Mulch to help retain soil moisture. Feed it in the spring and again in mid-summer with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to support vigorous growth and continuous flowering. Enjoy the long-lasting beauty and sweet fragrance of this lovely shrub! #EdwardGoucherAbelia #PinkFlowers #FragrantShrub #DeerResistant #WattersMulch #HummingbirdGarden
