I am a little bit confused and I do not know where is the best place to plant Abelia?
I've never planted this plant myself, but a lot of my neighbors do. They usually put it in areas that get a lot of sun, and they make sure the soil can drain well to avoid root rot.
This plant is quite the versatile little guy! Whether it's in the sun or the shadows, as long as the soil is nice and draining, it'll do just great.
Good air circulation and well-drained soil are most important for this plant.
I think the best place to plant Abelia is in an area that is still exposed to direct sunlight or partial shade, this is also good, has a well-draining planting medium which prevents rotting of the roots and make sure you plant it by giving it space for the leaves to grow big, okay? around 2-3 feet is also good
