Abelia prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. A loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH level between 6.0 and 6.5 is ideal. Avoid planting in heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture or sandy soils that drain too quickly. Amendments like compost or peat moss can be added to improve soil texture and fertility.
