Description / Abelia Sweet Emotion Blaze™
A member of the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs series, Abelia Sweet Emotion Blaze™ delivers a unique combination of fragrance and color to your garden, offering lasting beauty in the landscape. Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and wide, this hardy shrub thrives in colder climates (Zone 4 and above) and features a striking display of pink and white bicolor blooms in spring. The clusters of flowers emit a spicy-sweet scent, reminiscent of jasmine, that attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, adding vibrancy and life to your outdoor space. Perfect for cut arrangements, these fragrant blooms bring the garden indoors with their captivating scent.
This variety, Abelia mosanensis, also known as fragrant abelia, showcases superior branching and a naturally upright shape, making it versatile in garden beds, borders, or containers. Sweet Emotion Blaze works beautifully as a specimen plant, a vibrant focal point, or planted in groups for a lush, colorful hedge. As autumn approaches, its glossy green foliage turns brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red, offering a stunning seasonal transformation and adding warmth to fall landscapes.
Sweet Emotion Blaze abelia is easy to care for, thriving in full sun but also tolerating partial shade. It performs well in average, well-drained soil and benefits from a light spring fertilizer application to support its vigorous growth. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a resilient choice for pollinator-friendly gardens or fragrant landscapes. With three seasons of interest and minimal maintenance, Abelia Sweet Emotion Blaze brings lasting beauty and aromatic appeal to any garden.
