    I have found conflicting answers that Glossy abelia is hardy in zones 5-9 and some reports of 6-9.

    Check with your local growers or even contact your local County Extension Office for their recommendation.
    Here are links with care information and how to locate your closest Extension Office.

    I couldn't find information on dividing abelia so it must not be recommended. Stems will root and produce another plant under the right conditions. Read this; https://www.gardenguides.com/88463-propagate-glossy-abelia.html

    We do not sell plants. We only offer information regarding their growth, and other knowledge. I would check your local nurseries, or an online nursery, as they can usually ship just about anywhere.

    Shaping is recommended in early spring, before new growth.

    Pruning later in the season will leave you with no flowers; if your not worried about blooms, shape them up to the desired size.

    Yes this pH is way too high for these to survive here. Try enriching the soil with organic compost, as well as adding more iron sulfate. This should correct your issue. This is a common problem with clay soil if this is the case here.
