The Abelia Edward Goucher is a great, vibrant shrub border, foundation plant, or hedge. Many abelias have white flowers depending on the abelian variety, which is why out of all the abelia varieties this one is our favorite for its uniqueness! The abelia Edward Goucher dwarf is sure to wow your neighbors with its brilliantly colored pink flowers and rich fall foliage that looks attractive and lasts all through winter. It is also deer resistant! A slow-release fertilizer applied annually will help boost new spring growth. Make sure it is a well-draining soil. The Abelia Grandiflora Edward Goucher is best planted on 4 to 6-foot centers to form a screen or foundation planting, or slightly closer for a shrub hedge. The best time to plant an abelia Edward Goucher plant is in early spring or early fall so it has the whole growing season to establish its root system. It can tolerate light shade but performs best in full sunlight.
