Pruning Abelia
Pruning is an important part of maintaining the shape and health of your Abelia plant. Regular pruning helps remove dead or damaged wood, encourages new growth, and can improve the plant’s overall appearance. The best time to prune Abelia is just after the flowering season ends, typically in late fall or early winter.
Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged branches. Then, cut back any overly long or unruly stems to encourage a more compact shape. Be sure not to cut back too much, as Abelia flowers on new growth, and excessive pruning can reduce blooming in the following season. Pruning can also help maintain the size and shape of the plant, particularly if you’re using it as a hedge or border plant. For more details on why trimming is key to healthier, lush growth, read our guide on The importance of trimming your plants.
