Abergavenny
This shrub is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
"You can hunt around the garden for some time before you realize that delightful unexpected draught of sweet perfume that keeps catching you by surprise, emanates from its dainty, white-stained pale pink flowers"

A useful border plant, established fairly quickly. Just beautiful, small, delicate bell shape flowers..

I bought this plant because it is evergreen, has fragrant flowers and will fill a big space in my border. I planted it as soon as it arrived. It was small to begin with but once the spring and summer arrived it put on a lot of growth. I kept pinching it out to encourage a busy growth as some stems were getting leggy. It has begun to fill the bed quite nicely and the flowers have a lovely fragrance. I am expecting it to double in size this year.

This plant is a replacement for one of a pair either side of a set of steps. One disappointingly died back suddenly, maybe due to a rather colder windy position. The original shrubs were not bought from you so I am hoping that this new healthy plant you have supplied will be a happy partner to the first!

This is a pretty shrub that has grown well in its first year. It is easy to keep to a reasonable size in my town garden.

I would advise against this, but you could opt for one of the smaller cultivars (see links below), which sould as though they may be more suitable for the spot.

Hello there Abelia × grandiflora will grow in acid, neutral or alkaline soil. Hope this helps.
Hello Wendy, Abelia is a beautiful shrub that is hardy in all but the coldest gardens, and it is very easy to look after. If you are wanting to create a hedge effect with it, then I would be tempted to plant 3 of these and after they become established they will form a dense screen. Even planting two will eventually fill the space completely but it will take a few years. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello Bernadette, I'm afraid we do not sell Sacrocococca hookeriana var. humilis, but the other two we list will be fine in a large pot as long as they are kept well fed and watered. It is my experience that most plants will cope if the pot is big enough and they are well looked after, however larger plants like the Jasminum nudiflorum, Wintersweet, Witchhazel, Abelia or Nandinas will eventually run out of steam and need to be placed into the garden. You should however be able to get a good few years from them. As for the Myrtus, I have not heard that they particularly dislike being moved, but as they are not fully hardy they need protection in winter. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

As summer turns to autumn, thoughts turn to tidying the garden after the exuberance of summer and it is now an ideal time to prune many late-summer-flowering shrubs to keep them vigorous and flowering well. It’s also not too late to complete the pruning j

Many of the earlier-flowering summer shrubs make good partners for shrub roses. They tend to be in the same colour range: sometimes flowering just before and sometimes with the main flush, but often fragrantly. Abelia, Deutzias and Kolkwitzias fall into t
