Abelia Raspberry Profusion

Common Name:
Raspberry Profusion abelia

Description:
Abelia ‘Raspberry Profusion’ is a compact, low-maintenance flowering shrub grown for its long season of colour, glossy foliage, and softly fragrant blooms. It forms a neat, mounded plant with arching growth and masses of pink to raspberry-toned tubular flowers that appear from spring through summer and often continue well into autumn in Melbourne conditions. As the flowers fade, the colourful sepals remain, extending the display and adding extra seasonal interest. This variety performs best in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil and is well suited to garden borders, feature planting, low hedging, and large pots. Once established, it is reasonably heat and drought tolerant, making it a dependable choice for Melbourne gardens.
