Read about Abelia triflora in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Shrub, to 10 ft., branchlets with reflexed hairs: leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, 1½-2½ in. long, ciliate and sparingly hairy on both sides or nearly glabrous, entire or occasionally on vigorous shoots with a few coarse teeth, half-evergreen: fls. in terminal clusters, fragrant; sepals linear, hairy, ½ in. long; corolla tubular with spreading limb, white flushed pink, ¾ in. long. Summer. Himalayas. A very handsome species; after the flowers are gone the feathery sepals remain as an attractive feature.

Cultivation

Requires a well-drained open loamy soil11 in a warm, sheltered sunny positionRH245. Plants are best grown in semi-shade219. They are intolerant of water-loggingRHand of dry soils219. Succeeds in any soil but new growth is less vigorous in dry soils202. One report says that the plant likes a soil with a high chalk content245, though another says that chlorosis occurs on very alkaline soils202. This species is hardy to about -15°c184, it grows well in the open at Kew11. A fairly slow-growing plant, it is shy to flower in British gardens unless placed against a sunny wall219. It flowers on wood that is 2 - 3 years old or older182. Another report says that the plant flowers on the new wood219, whilst another says that it flowers on terminal clusters245. Any pruning is best done immediately after flowering by thinning out the old wood.182219. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungusRH, Closely related to A buddleioides and A. umbellata182. The flowers are wonderfully scented182, with the fragrance of vanilla245.
