I planted 6 abelias two summers ago becuase I liked the flowers they produced on plants elsewhere in my yard.

Dan's of Central Florida, Inc. on Oct 17, 2011Hi Larry, Abelias need alot of sun with moist acidic soil. Are you getting really dense foliage with the leaves? If so, it usually means they need more sun. Have you pruned them yet? The abelias will flower on new growth, so a light pruning may be needed.Helpful Reply

Garden Rebel / Sims Landscaping, Co. on Oct 17, 2011For more blooms use bone meal and fertilize with Azalea food as it is on the acid side. And yes, the more sun the more blooms. Also BTW, the variegated variety is superb.Helpful Reply

Walter Reeves on Oct 21, 2011Prune in spring if needed to shape them up. Fertilize 2 - 3 times per year if you want them to grow bigger, 1x if not.Helpful Reply
