Generally, I cut those long shoots off. It makes a fuller plant. But Glossy Abelia may behave a little differently for you in TX.

Those shoots root fairly easily. Each year I strike cuttings from these shoots and generate some new plants.

Glossy Abelia is one of the shrubs I would lov e to have, but can't seem to find a place for. It's so pretty in every way.
