Sweet Emotion Abelia is a rounded deciduous shrub with attractive green foliage that turns red and orange in fall. The dainty clusters of pink buds open to reveal white faced flowers with the sweet scent of jasmine that bloom from late spring into summer. Flowers best in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
