Abelia x grandiflora Rehder
Abelia x grandiflora exhibits moderate to high drought tolerance, which manifests only after the plant has fully established. The crop is capable of enduring dry periods, although it may lose its aesthetic appeal during prolonged moisture deficits.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Glossy abelia, where this is mentioned in the description.
For Abelia x grandiflora, drought tolerance is characterized as moderate to high, with this trait manifesting fully only in mature, well-developed shrubs. In regional studies, such as the conditions of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, the expert assessment of the species' resistance is 2 points.
During cultivation, the establishment period is the key phase, during which the plant requires regular irrigation. In prolonged droughts, deep watering is recommended to maintain optimal flowering, as the species is not a xerophyte and is sensitive to water deficits.
The expression of the trait may depend on the specific cultivar. For instance, the drought tolerance of the 'Rose Creek' cultivar is in some cases defined as low, which requires mandatory verification when selecting planting material.
