An outstanding horticultural variety dating from 1911.
Abelia (x) grandiflora Edward Goucher is an excellent horticultural variety dating from 1911.
This small, compact shrub of the Caprifoliaceae family is a hybrid of Abelia x grandiflora, a vigorous, undemanding, and highly hardy species and Abelia schumannii, which grows to a smaller size.
Abelia is a genus of flowering shrubs, with evergreen or semi-evergreen foliage, primarily native to Asia.
You can also plant it in the center of a bed of perennials or shrubs, or as a free-growing or trimmed hedge.
Abelia ‘Edward Goucher’ is a remarkably prolific bloomer; it is a hybrid variety that is more cold-hardy and is therefore recommended for areas north of the Loire.
