Abelia Sweet Emotion #2

SWEET EMOTION BLAZE™

Abelia mosanensis

A spring flowering shrub that’s as fabulous at the end of the season as it is at the beginning! Sweet Emotion Blaze abelia shares the same USDA zone 4 cold hardiness and powerfully fragrant flowers as other Abelia mosanenis, but what really sets it apart is the stunning fall foliage. In spring, Sweet Emotion Blaze is covered in an abundance of pink flowers that smell great and attract pollinators. In autumn, the fresh green foliage transitions to a vibrant blend of yellow, orange, and red, lighting up the garden or landscape. That’s not all; this abelia has superior branching and an improved habit for an excellent container presentation.
