Abelia × grandiflora Lucky Lots ('Wevo2') (PBR)
abelia
Ideal for pots or low, informal hedging, this colourful, semi-evergreen shrub can produce its scented, creamy white flowers for months on end, which makes it ideal for placing near pathways, entrances or seating areas.
Its foliage is also attractive, being subtly variegated and taking on a red hue as the temperatures drop in autumn. It's ideally suited for a sunny, sheltered spot, where it will usually hold onto many of its leaves in winter.

How to care for Abelia × grandiflora Lucky Lots ('Wevo2') (PBR):
Choose a sunny position in well-drained soil. Incorporate well-rotted compost or manure and a sprinkling of mycorrhizal fungi into the planting hole to encourage strong root development. Water regularly during the first year to help establish the plant.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong flowering. In autumn, lightly trim back faded blooms to maintain a neat shape. In early spring, remove any dead or damaged stems and apply a mulch of organic matter around the base to conserve moisture and improve soil health.
In colder regions, provide winter protection for young plants by adding a layer of mulch around the base.
