In botanical terms, semi-evergreen means that it is green for only a part of the winter or only part of the foliage is fully evergreen. For glossy abelia (Abelia x grandiflora), which is rated hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 6 to 9, this means that in Abilene, it will be evergreen in all but severe winters.
