Abelia x grandiflora 'Little Richard': Lustrous dark green leaves with white flowers. In maturity, it will be 2.5' to 3' high and wide. If the soil is quite fertile, it will hold its leaves throughout winter and have nice leaf color. As with all Abelias, the flowers will attract tons of butterflies and bees. This branch sport of 'Sherwoodii' was introduced by Richard Currin himself!
