Prune Like a Pro: Abelia

Abelia grows by producing strong upright arching canes that will flower heavily over the first 3-4 years. Annual pruning will help keep your shrub compact and neat looking, especially after a hard winter. Abelia can be grown as a hedge, and if so, it needs occasional thinning to keep it withing the desired bounds. Thinning will let more sunlight into the interior foliage, stimulating branching and creating a fuller plant.
