Planting & Care
1. Planting: To plant your Radiance Abelia, choose a location that receives full sun for optimal blooming, though partial shade is also acceptable. Dig a hole one and a half to two times wider than the plant's container.
Position the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground or slightly elevated by 1-2 inches. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly to settle the soil, and add more if necessary.
Finish by applying a 1-2 inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the stem to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
2. Watering: When newly planted, the Radiance Abelia requires deep watering once or twice weekly to help establish strong roots. Once the plant is established, it will only need minimal watering, typically during extended periods of dry, hot weather. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering.
3. Fertilizing: To keep your Radiance Abelia healthy and vibrant, fertilize in early spring and/or early summer with a fertilizer designed for flowering shrubs. Follow the label instructions for application rates, and consider feeding again in early fall if the plant appears to need an extra boost.
4. Pruning: Radiance Abelias generally do not require regular pruning, but you may choose to prune for shaping or size control.
