abelia
n. C2 Proficiency abelia
n. a type of small, flowering plant that is popular in gardens because it looks nice all year round.
n. a genus of flowering plants in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to East Asia and widely cultivated for ornamental purposes.
The gardener planted a small abelia in the front yard.
The abelia is a popular choice for landscaping because it produces fragrant flowers from late spring until early autumn.
While many shrubs lose their leaves in winter, the abelia retains its slender, arching branches, providing a delicate framework for the garden during the colder months.
