The bushy plant is approximately 3 feet by 3 feet. If you decide on a rose hedge, plant in sun and an organically enriched, well-draining soil. The shrub is dense but has graceful, cascading branches. Abelia x grandiflora has fragrant white blooms and matures to 8 feet unpruned. Ask your nurseryman about other cultivars.
Abelia takes sun to bright shade and is drought-tolerant once established.
Our shrubs produce blue blooms and golden berries spring through frost. However, the loose, arching branches of this fast grower tolerate pruning. The burgundy foliage of loropetalum makes a handsome, dense shrub. This is a tall, broad plant. The heaviest flush of fringy hot-pink blooms is in spring, with sporadic blooms other times of the year.
