'''''[[Abelia]] × grandiflora''''' (Glossy Abelia) is a [[hybrid]] ''[[Abelia]]'', raised by hybridising ''[[Abelia|Abelia chinensis]]'' with ''[[Abelia|A. uniflora]]''. It is a [[deciduous]] or semi-[[evergreen]] multi-stemmed [[shrub]] with rounded, spreading, or gracefully arching branches to 1-1.8 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are ovate, glossy, dark green, 2-6 cm long. The [[flower]]s are produced in clusters, white, tinged pink, bell-shaped, to 2 cm long.

Evergreen to semievergreen. Zones 4-24, 28-35. Hybrid of two species from China. Best known and most popular of the abelias. Grows to 8 ft. or taller; spreads to 5 ft. or wider. Flowers white or faintly tinged pink. Stems freeze at about 0°F/-18°C, but plant will usually recover to bloom the same year, making a graceful border plant 10-15 in. tall.

'Francis Mason' is a compact (3-4 ft. high and wide), densly branched variety, with pink flowers and yellow-variegated leaves. 'Golden Glow' is similar, but with entirely yellow foliage. 'Prostrata' is a low-growing (l 1/2-2-ft.), smaller-leafed variety useful as ground cover, bank planting, low foreground shrub. 'Sherwoodii' grows 3-4 ft. tall, 5 ft wide, hybrid 'Edward Goucher' is less hardy (Zones 5-24, 28-32), lower growing (to 3-5 ft.), and lacier than its A. grandiflora parent, with small, orange-throated, lilac-pink flowers.

===Cultivation and uses===
''Abelia × grandiflora'' was first raised at the Rovelli [[Nursery (horticulture)|nursery]] by [[Lake Maggiore]] in [[Italy]] in 1886. It is used as an [[ornamental plant]] in specimen plantings in gardens, or in a mixed border with other shrubs. [[plant propagation|Propagation]] is by [[cutting (plant)|cuttings]].

[[Synonymy|Synonyms]] include ''Abelia rupestris'' Hort., ''Linnaea pringiana'' Graebn, and ''L. spaethiana'' Graebn.
