Little Richard Abelia is a compact semi-evergreen to evergreen shrub with a rounded habit and dark green foliage that becomes tinted with orange or pink in fall. Fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers blooms through summer and leave behind attractive red sepals that last well into fall. Flowers best in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils.
