If you are looking for a compact shrub, the heavy-blooming Raspberry Perfection® Abelia could fit the bill perfectly. Botanically called Abelia chinensis 'Abesrpras', this abelia produces a mass of light pink flowers that contrast well against its dark pink sepals. A compact form and a height of 3 to 4 feet tall make this abelia ideal for a variety of garden uses. 

The flowers of the Raspberry Perfection® Abelia are a bee and butterfly magnet when they bloom from late spring until the fall. A semi-evergreen shrub, this abelia is considered winter hardy in USDA zones 6 to 9. It naturally forms a neat and rounded habit and requires less clipping than other varieties. Raspberry Perfection® is well suited to foundation planting, or growing in a mixed border or large container. 

Raspberry Perfection® Abelia Care

The Raspberry Perfection® Abelia requires full sun for it to thrive and put on the best flowering display. It prefers well-drained, fertile and moist soil that is neutral to acidic. Water deeply and often until established, after which it can tolerate some dry spells. Even though the Raspberry Perfection® Abelia is a light feeder, it will benefit from a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring. 

The Raspberry Perfection® Abelia needs minimal pruning to keep it in check. Lightly trim this shrub to shape in late winter or early spring. Container-grown specimens will need more frequent irrigation to keep the soil moist over the hotter months. 

Raspberry Perfection® Abelia Spacing

When fully grown, the Raspberry Perfection® Abelia can reach 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Multiple shrubs can be planted out at a spacing of 2 to 3 feet depending on how close you would like them to knit together.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
