'''''Abelia × grandiflora''''' (Glossy Abelia) is a [[Hybrid (biology)|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. Unlike most flowering shrubs in cultivation, the Glossy Abelia blooms from late summer to well into the autumn.
''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]]. Variegated forms are also available commercially.
[[Synonymy|Synonyms]] include ''Abelia rupestris'' Hort., ''Linnaea pringiana'' Graebn, and ''L. spaethiana'' Graebn.
