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!

Achlys triphylla ssp. triphylla

Vanilla Leaf

An appealing west coast native, growing in woodland shade. Spring-flowering with bottlebrush-like white flowers but the main interest in this plant are the large, scallop-edged leaves.
