Edward Goucher Pink Abelia

Abelia × grandiflora ‘Edward Goucher,’ commonly known as Edward Goucher Pink Abelia, is a flowering shrub that can be used as a low-maintenance screen, shrubby border, informal hedge, or even as a specimen shrub. It is an excellent choice for the California landscape due to its adaptability, drought tolerance, and year-round visual interest. Evergreen in milder climates (USDA zones 9-11) and semi-evergreen in zones 6-8, Abelia ‘Edward Goucher’ thrives in California's diverse climate zones, from coastal areas to inland regions. Its ability to handle both full sun and partial shade adds flexibility to landscape design.

Edward Goucher Abelia features beautiful, arching branches and delicate, funnel-shaped lilac-pink flowers that bloom from summer through fall. The glossy, deep green leaves, which turn bronze in cooler months, provide year-round texture and color. Unlike Glossy Abelia (Abelia × grandiflora), ‘Edward Goucher’ has pink flowers, fine-textured foliage, and a more compact growth habit.
