It has reddish stems and glossy, small leaves that become reddish-brown before autumn. It is one of the most cold-resistant species within the genus. Its simplified-form flowers are funnel-shaped, white, and its pink sepals remain long after flowering. Abelia chinensis is commonly cultivated in China and is also used elsewhere.
