Abelia × grandiflora ‘Francis Mason’, commonly known as Francis Mason Glossy Abelia, is a compact, semi-evergreen shrub known for its golden foliage and long-lasting flowers. It typically grows to a height of 1–1.5 meters with a similar spread, forming a dense, rounded shape. The small, ovate leaves emerge bright golden-yellow and mature to green with golden edges. From late spring to autumn, it produces clusters of small, fragrant, tubular pale pink to white flowers that attract pollinators. It is commonly used for hedging, borders, or as a feature plant in gardens due to its vibrant foliage, extended flowering period, and low-maintenance requirements.
