Abelia x grandiflora 'Goldsport' is a semi-evergreen shrub with an arching growth habit and golden-green variegated foliage. It bears soft pink, delicately fragrant flowers from midsummer to autumn, which are extremely attractive to bumblebees. This abelia is perfect for growing in a mixed or shrub border and is particularly well suited to small gardens.
Grow Abelia x grandiflora 'Goldsport' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, ideally with the protection of a south- or west-facing wall. The sunnier spot you provide, the more flowers you'll be rewarded with.
