Abelia mosanensis

Fragrant Abelia

A hardy, fragrant Abelia!!! We found this deciduous species in Latvia so we know it’s hardy. Wonderfully fragrant, rich pink flowers. The fragrance is better than a Lilac! The blooms adorn this plant from late May to early June. The glossy summer foliage turns an attractive orange-red in autumn. We have never seen any tip dieback on this plant even in years when the other Abelia cultivars are killed to the ground. Very exciting!
