Abelia

Abelia is a low-maintenance shrub with honey-scented flowers that carry on from midsummer well into autumn, and they're good for bees. It's happy in a border or a pot.

It's hardy in most of Britain given a sunny, sheltered spot, but a hard winter can cut it back in a cold or exposed garden. It's semi-evergreen: it keeps its leaves through a mild winter and drops them in a cold one.

Ours is 'Francis Mason', with golden variegated leaves, in a 2 litre pot. Plant from March to May or September to November. Grown peat-free in Yorkshire.
