About This Plant
Abelia × grandiflora 'Frances M', 'Frances M', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.
Abelias are graceful semi-evergreen shrubs with arching habit, fragrant white or pink tubular flowers from summer through fall, and many cultivars in variegated and colored foliage forms (Kaleidoscope, Confetti).
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 6 to 9. Generally trouble-free. Hummingbird-attractive.
For a Pacific Northwest native shrub of similar character, consider Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape, Oregon state flower), Philadelphus lewisii (Mock Orange), or Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray) , all support native pollinators and birds.
