Abelia 'Little Richard'
Common Name: Little Richard
Abelia ‘Little Richard’ is a compact, dwarf abelia with a dense, mounded habit and a long season of interest. Glossy green foliage emerges with bronze tones and is complemented by soft white, lightly fragrant flowers from late spring through summer. Size: 3–4 ft tall × 3–4 ft wide Habit: Tight, rounded, naturally compact Light: Full sun to partial shade Zones: 6–9 Tips: Grow in well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Best shape and flowering occur in full sun. Minimal pruning needed—light shaping after bloom if desired. Heat- and humidity-tolerant once established. Uses: Foundations, low hedges, mass plantings, mixed shrub borders, and small residential landscapes where a tidy, low-maintenance shrub is needed.
