Temperate climate up to -5\u00b0<\/p>\n
Medium As always, it requires more watering as soon as it is planted and in a temperate climate the rains are enough. It tolerates a few days of drought. In winter, reduce but do not suspend watering because it is evergreen.<\/p>\n
for seed in spring<\/p>\n
practically not necessary if positioned respecting its dimensions, but in case it is needed it bears it very well.<\/p>\n
Abelia fears the attack of aphids and, among the fungal diseases, it suffers from mildew especially if cultivated in regions with a very humid climate or where it rains often and abundantly.<\/p>\n
Even if it resists the cold quite well, it still needs to be repaired at the base with a light straw mulch. And it must always be sheltered from the wind.<\/p>\n
If the plant does not flower, it could suffer from a lack of sun and fertilizer.<\/p>\n
The genus Abelia<\/em> Robert Brown, belonging to the Caprifoliaceae family (Linneaceae according to other classifications), is well known to enthusiasts for at least one much cultivated species. The first to arrive in Europe was Abelia chinensis<\/em>, where it was introduced in 1844 by Robert Fortune but discovered by the doctor Clarke Abel from whom it takes its name; the following year Abelia uniflora<\/em> arrived. Soon both were supplanted by Abelia x grandiflora<\/em>, a horticultural hybrid between the two species, obtained for the first time in 1886 in the Rovelli nursery in Pallanza. It is a long-flowering, sterile semi-evergreen shrub, flowering until the first cold weather, once very popular in gardens. (and if you want to delve into this story with some very interesting true history go here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The most interesting varieties are (height and width in brackets):<\/p>\n the ‘Prostrata’ which has a creeping habit (H. 40 \u2013 60 cm x L. 1 \u2013 1,2 m.);\u00a0the ‘Sherwoodii’ which is dwarf and compact, with smaller flowers and leaves (H. e L. 3 m.);\u00a0the ‘Edward Goucher’ which has a hanging habit, reddish young leaves and lilac-pink flowers (H. e L. 1,2 m.);\u00a0‘Kaleidoscope’, the most popular of the variegated leaves, has medium green leaves with golden yellow, orange and amber-red edges and white flowers (H. e L. 60 cm.);\u00a0the ‘Confetti’ which has a compact habit, glossy green leaves with cream edges, initially white then pinkish flowers (H. e L. 60 cm.);\u00a0‘Francis Mason’ which has golden leaves with dark green markings (H. e L. 1 \u2013 1,8 m.);\u00a0the ‘Gold Strike’ which has golden yellow leaves (H. e L. 1,5 m.);\u00a0the ‘Lady Summerdream’ which has light green leaves edged in yellow and very long flowering (H. e L. 1,5 m.)\u00a0and ‘Hopleys’ which has yellow variegated leaves that turn dark pink in autumn (H. e L. 1,2 m.)<\/p>\n The abelia, in the language of flowers, symbolizes happiness and good wishes.<\/strong> But it is also an expression of confidence in one’s own strength and concentration in difficult moments.\u00a0Since ancient times it has been cultivated by the Chinese as a plant for ritual purposes<\/strong>.

Ben presto entrambe furono soppiantate dall\u2019Abelia x grandiflora<\/em>, un ibrido orticolo tra le due specie, ottenuto la prima volta nel 1886 nel vivaio Rovelli a Pallanza. \u00c8 un arbusto semi-sempreverde sterile a lunga fioritura, in fiore fino ai primi freddi, un tempo molto popolare nei giardini.

Ma \u00e8 anche espressione di fiducia nelle proprie forze e concentrazione nei momenti difficili.<\/p>\r\n Fin dall\u2019antichit\u00e0 viene coltivata dai cinesi come\u00a0pianta a scopo rituale<\/strong>.
