Slow, slow, slow to emerge in spring. As of mid May it just starts to leaf out, and is still an empty hole in the garden.
In 2014 and 2015 it became swamped by other plants around it. Garden phlox continued to spread over it and nicotianas and other taller plants encroached to the point where I could not see the abelia at all.
Here is the Birch Garden in 2015 at multiple times of year, and no 'Edward Goucher' shrub to be seen, but it's in there somewhere.

| The Birch Garden throughout 2015, first in late May, then mid June, then in the lower left it is late August, and finally late September in the lower right. The 'Edward Goucher' abelia is overrun. |
Planted 'Frances Mason' in 2012 and it looked good, but then moved it under the yellow flowered cornelaincherry dogwood by the driveway where it's not doing much.

It has light chartreuse foliage. Needs no care or pruning, but honestly, this isn't bulking up at all, or flowering much.
