ABELIA floribunda
Mexican Abelia
Abelia floribunda is a medium sized, arching, evergreen to semi-evergreen, broadleaf shrub native to Mexico. In early summer abundant clusters of cherry-pink, trumpet-shaped, drooping flowers adorn the length of its branches (sparser re-bloom may occur). It prefers sun (with some afternoon shade in hotter climates) and fertile, well-drained soil, and is good for dressing up a wall or grouping with other shrubs.
