Abelias are popular [[garden]] shrubs. The most widely grown is the hybrid ''[[Abelia x grandiflora]]'' (Glossy Abelia; hybrid ''Abelia chinensis'' x ''Abelia uniflora''). 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.
