Glossy abelia is a long flowering shrub that is widely used in many gardens. The flowers are a soft pink color with a tubular shape. Getting its common name from its dark green glossy foliage, it is even attractive when not in flower. 

This species may lose its leaves in especially cold winters or if it is exposed to winter winds, but generally it will keep at least some of its leaves through the winter.
