Notes
'Poco Loco' glossy abelia (Abelia grandiflora 'Poco Loco') is a shrub for borders, hedges, specimen planting, and foundation beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Pink and white fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It also handles drought and salt well. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Bloodgood Japanese maple, Autumn fern, Praying Hands hosta, and Casa Blanca lily.
