‘Edward Goucher’ is a semi-evergreen to deciduous shrub that typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide. It features a rounded, arching habit, with graceful, slightly cascading stems and attractive foliage that offers multi-season interest.
This cultivar blooms from midsummer through fall, with an exceptionally long blooming period. It produces small, tubular, bell-shaped flowers in lavender-pink, each with a soft fragrance. The flowers are complemented by bronze-tinged sepals that persist, extending visual interest into late fall.
‘Edward Goucher’ thrives in full sun to partial shade, though more sun = more blooms. It prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil, but adapts well to clay, sandy, and average garden soils. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal care.
Yes! This Abelia is generally deer-resistant, although not completely deer-proof. It’s also low-maintenance, needing only light pruning in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. It’s pest- and disease-resistant, and heat-tolerant, making it ideal for easy-care landscapes.
Absolutely! The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout its blooming season. In addition, the dense foliage provides shelter for birds and beneficial insects, making it a great option for pollinator- and wildlife-friendly gardens.
Our gift cards make it easy to share the beauty of plants, flowers, and all things green. Whether for a special occasion or just because, give the gift of choice and let them select their favorites to create a garden they’ll cherish.
