The Abelia shrub is ideal for planting as an informal and private hedge in the garden area or mixed with other ornamental shrubs on the border.

This evergreen plant (illustrious jasmine) reaches its largest size and width (2 meters) in 2 to 3 years with slender, long, and curved branches.

The pale pink flowers of Abelia with their long-lasting reddish sepals give the plant a lasting color, and if you cut back the old and skinny branches every few years, the life of this plant will be extended.

As long as this plant (royal jasmine) is not exposed to salty winds, there is no need to worry. It prefers full sun and needs at least 6 hours of sun every day to grow well.

Requirements:

(Royal Jasmine)

Water system: Abelia tolerates dry periods perfectly. It should be watered every three to four weeks unless conditions are so stressful that it needs more water.

Soil: Abelia adapts to most soils, except heavy and wet ones.

Propagation: This plant is propagated by semi-woody cuttings taken from early summer to fall. Long woody branches from annual twigs without thin leaves, harvested in winter, are suitable for propagating Abelia.

Fertilizer: Give the plant a bone meal or a full feed in spring, especially at the beginning of each year. The adapted plant tolerates complete soil poverty in the early development phase, but is sensitive and is affected by consistent fertilization and care.

Flowering: The long flowering period extends over the entire summer season. The red sepals of the Abelia remain on the plant until early winter.

Pruning: To prune and modify the Abelia shrub in late winter or early spring, cut back the branches and annual twigs as much as you like, but don’t lose the shape and effect of the curved branches!

Pests, diseases, and complications:

If you see deformed leaves and green insects on them: Spray the plant with a penetrating insecticide according to the instructions to kill the insects.

If you see that the leaves and buds turn brown before they open: The air is too hot and dry, sprinkle the plant with dust.

If the flowers do not open: There is not enough light, move the plant to a brighter spot

If you see that the leaves have turned black: The weather is cold, move the plant to a warmer place, this may be due to the use of chemical brighteners, do not use them.
