abelia-x-grandiflora-nana

Abelia x grandiflora Nana, also known as Dwarf Abelia, is a compact shrub with arching branches and striking bronze/red new leaves that transition to glossy green as they mature.

From spring to autumn, this plant produces fragrant white bell-shaped flowers that make for a beautiful display. Its adaptability allows it to thrive in various garden conditions, making it suitable for even the most challenging spots.

While it may become straggly if left untrimmed, regular trimming helps to maintain its form.

For a standout feature, prune it a few times a year and enjoy its abundant flowers throughout the year.

"Nana" is a more compact variation that still benefits from trimming.

To promote optimal growth, plant in light, sandy soil and water regularly until established.

To keep diseases at bay, spray with a mix of Bayleton or paraffin and soapy water to combat black spot in humid conditions, or use a pyrethrum-based insecticide to ward off blackfly.
