Four years ago I bought a small abelia seedling. Put on the eastern window. She has decorative leaves - carved and glossy. She applies to the family of humbly. Abelia has grown quite large, but not blooming. Last year I planted her to open soil. I hoped that there would bloom, but to no avail, in the fall, a familiar asked her for himself. Doodped and gave. Only planted a small cutlery, covered it with a can. This year put on the western window. And the babe bloomed. When buying, I was told that it was Abelia a large-flower, but I think that Chinese. According to the description, it has a significantly less flowers, about 1 cm. I can not understand where there is such a crumb of strength - it bloomed all summer without ceasing.
Flowers fragrant, smell is easier than Murray, but look like. In the summer watered daily. The substrate was lightweight with the addition of vermiculite. It turned out that the main thing for flowering is the sun, and this year it was with an excess.
