Meet Pink Piñata™ Abelia—the little shrub that throws a party wherever it's planted. Each summer, it bursts to life with clusters of pink blooms that sparkle against glossy green leaves and striking red bracts. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds RSVP immediately, while deer politely decline the invitation. It's compact, hardy, and always ready to perform—like a perfectly choreographed garden dance.
Pink Piñata™ Abelia is a modern update to the beloved Edward Goucher Abelia, offering deeper pink flowers, a neater, denser habit, and a flair for landscape life. Its strong root system gives it confidence in a range of soil conditions, while the tidy mounding shape stays polished with almost no pruning. Whether you plant it in a sunny border or as a bright hedge accent, it keeps its color and form beautifully.
What really makes this abelia special is its long-lasting appeal. From late spring through fall, the blooms just keep coming, and as cooler weather arrives, the foliage deepens to rich burgundy tones—offering three seasons of visual delight. Tough yet elegant, Pink Piñata™ Abelia is your go-to choice for easy, colorful landscaping that delivers year after year.

PINK PIÑATA™ ABELIA Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil:
- Thrives in average, well-drained soil.
- Adaptable to loamy, sandy, or clay soils with good drainage.
- Avoid soggy or compacted sites; root health depends on air circulation in the soil.
- Sun Exposure:
- Best in full sun to part sun (4–6 hours of light daily).
- More sun = more blooms and richer foliage color.
- Tolerates partial shade but may flower less.
- Irrigation Needs:
- Water regularly during establishment (first growing season).
- Once mature, moderately drought tolerant.
- Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings; overwatering can cause root issues.
- Mulch to retain moisture and regulate temperature.
- Feeding & Nutrients:
- Apply a balanced, slow-release shrub fertilizer in early spring.
- Avoid heavy feeding or late-season fertilizing.
- Compost or organic mulch adds steady nutrition through the year.
- Pruning & Maintenance:
- Blooms on new wood—prune in late winter or early spring before new growth.
- Light trimming after flowering helps maintain compact form.
- Remove old or weak stems at the base every few years for rejuvenation.
- Naturally tidy habit means minimal upkeep overall.
