Fragrant blooms. Fiery fall foliage. A garden joy from spring through frost.
There’s nothing fleeting about this beauty—Sweet Emotion Blaze Abelia brings its charm from the first warm days of spring straight through the final golden weeks of autumn.
 
In May, it’s absolutely smothered in pink, powerfully fragrant blooms that stop passersby in their tracks and bring pollinators buzzing from all directions.
 
But don’t let the spring show steal the spotlight. As summer winds down, the fresh green foliage begins its grand finale—shifting into vivid hues of yellow, orange, and red that absolutely blaze in the landscape. It’s one of those rare plants that gives you something to admire in every season.
 
Add to that an improved habit, stronger branching, and neat presentation even in containers, and you’ve got a workhorse that doesn’t skimp on beauty.
