ABELIA GRANDIFLORA (Glossy Abelia) © 
A lovely shrub bearing quantities of white and 
pink arbutus-like flowers all summer. Low, neat- 
growing habit to about 3 feet. It sometimes 
freezes back pretty hard after cold winters but 
always recovers and sends up new graceful 
branches with small, rich and brilliant green 
foliage in contrast to Its lovely pink flower. Pot- 
from time to time, so the plants will “fit in” with the desired effect. Good care is worth 
while. 
Evergreen and flowering shrub plantings near the house should consist of low, slow- 
growing material such as the narrow-leaved Hollies, Spreading Yews, Lily-of-the-Valley 
Shrubs, Evergreen Azaleas, Upright Yews, Mountain Laurel, and a ground-cover like 
Pachysandra or Myrtle. An occasional Dogwood to accent or a vine to soften may be 
used, but otherwise the planting should merely tie in the grounds with the house and not 
hide the foundation. Finding the right plant material for foundations is a pleasant task 
for the home-owner.
