'Edward Goucher' is a popular hybrid abelia forming a compact, rounded, semi-evergreen shrub 3–5 feet tall and wide. The glossy, dark green leaves take on bronze-purple tones in winter. From early summer to fall, it produces abundant clusters of fragrant, funnel-shaped, lilac-pink flowers with orange throats—a long bloom season that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
Grows in full sun to partial shade with average, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Hardy in zones 6–9. Low maintenance; prune in late winter to shape. More compact and cold-hardy than many abelias.
Excellent for foundation plantings, low hedges, mixed borders, and containers. The long bloom season and wildlife attraction make it a standout. Deer resistant.
