When's the last time a plant has completely surprised you?

Sweet Emotion® abelia is just the shrub to kickstart your heart - and your landscape. It's the hardiest abelia yet, growing where no abelia could grow before: in chilly USDA zone 4. It's also the most fragrant of any abelia, with white and pink spring blooms that perfume the air with the scent of jasmine. Add in its elegant habit, attractive seed heads, and orange fall foliage and you have the perfect shrub to showcase your good taste. 

Top three reasons to grow Sweet Emotion® abelia: 

  • Delightful sweet jasmine fragrance when it blooms in spring
  • Super hardy: to USDA zone 4
  • Tolerates part shade; resists deer and rabbits.
