Abelia 'Raspberry Profusion'

An abundant flowering and double impact through its flamboyant raspberry sepals

A hybrid between 'Edward Goucher' and Abelia chinensis, 'Raspberry Profusion' is remarkable for its early flowering and double effect. The plant is covered with a profusion of large clusters of highly fragrant pink flowers with flamboyant raspberry sepals.

Flowering begins in May, peaks in June and continues through summer and autumn. As the flowers fall, the sepals hold on, prolonging the interest of the bloom, providing attractive color until late autumn.

The pretty, glossy green foliage is virtually deciduous in winter. A small shrub with a compact, spreading, domed habit, it is hardy and tolerant of heat and drought.

Flowering and color are at their best in sunny locations. It accepts semi-shade situations.
