Anniversary™ Abelia
2 1/4" finishes to 1 gallon in 10-12 weeks, Quick Turn finishes to 2-3 gallon in 14-18 weeks.
Abelia grow best with low to average moisture; media should dry slightly between waterings. Good drainage is essential.
Supplemental iron is beneficial.
This species of abelia sends off long shoots in all directions, so frequent, early pruning is recommended to produce a densely branched, full bodied plant.
Allow 10-12 weeks after pruning for new flower buds to form.
Avoid fertilizing after late summer, as doing so can push soft growth that does not harden off properly before winter.
Plants must be at desired sale size before overwintering.
