Appearance
It is a deciduous or semi-evergreen multistemmed shrub with rounded, spreading, or gracefully arching branches to 1 to 1.8 m tall. The leaves are ovate, glossy, dark green, and 2–6 cm long. The fragrant flowers are produced in clusters, white, tinged pink, bell-shaped, to 2 cm long. Unlike most flowering shrubs in cultivation, the species blooms from late summer to well into the autumn.The Latin specific epithet ''grandiflora'' means "abundant flowers". "Abelia", the common name and former genus name, honors Clarke Abel, physician and naturalist who collected seeds and plants on a British expedition to China in 1817.
