 Abelias are popular [[garden]] [[shrub]]s from 1-6 m tall; the species from warm climates are [[evergreen]], and colder climate species [[deciduous]]. Graceful, arching branches which are densely clothed with oval, usually glossy leaves 1/2 to 1-1/2 in. long; having bronzy new growth. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite or in whorls of three, ovate, glossy, dark green, 1.5-8 cm long, turning purplish-bronze to red in autumn in the deciduous species. The [[flower]]s appear in the upper leaf axils and stem ends, 1-8 together in a short [[cyme]]; they are pendulous, white to pink, bell-shaped with a five-lobed corolla, 1-5 cm long, and usually scented. Tubular or bell-shaped flowers come in clusters at ends of branches or among leaves. Flowering continues over a long and continuous late spring to fall period. The small, plentiful blossoms are enough to be showy, mostly during summer to early fall. After blooms drop, they usually leave purplish or copper-colored sepals that give color into the fall.

This is a rounded, spreading, multi-stemmed shrub with gracefully arching branches to 1-1.8 m tall, with ovate, glossy, dark green semi-evergreen leaves to 2-6 cm long, and clusters of white-tinged-pink, bell-shaped flowers to 2 cm long.

 ==Cultivation==
 Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil, in a sun. Moderate frost hardiness, prune selectively in winter to keep the shrub's graceful form, removing some of the basal shoots to make room for new growth, plus the cane ends. Take care to preserve the plant's naturally arching habit. Don't shear, the more stems you cut to the ground in winter or early spring, the more open and arching next year's growth will be.
 ===Propagation===
-Soft-tip cuttings in spring to summer, or half-hardened cuttings in late autumn to winter.
+Soft-tip cuttings in spring to summer, or half-hardened cuttings in late autumn to winter. Seeds are not often obtainable; they are sown in spring and germinate after a month or two; the seedlings begin to bloom usually in their third year.
