About the genus
Abelia encompasses a range of deciduous and evergreen shrubs as well as small trees. The leaves can be arranged in pairs or whorls, while the flowers, which are typically funnel or trumpet-shaped, appear in clusters at the axils or tips of branches during the summer and fall. These blooms are occasionally accompanied by noticeable, vibrant calyces.
