Some plants just have a way of pulling you in—and Sweet Emotion Blaze® Abelia is one of them. In spring, it opens the season with soft pink, fragrant blooms that fill the air with a sweet, citrusy scent and attract pollinators from far and wide. It's a bloom you’ll want to experience up close.

Then, just when you think the show is over, fall arrives—and with it, a spectacular encore. The bright green foliage transforms into a rich tapestry of yellow, orange, and red tones, delivering an unexpected burst of autumn color that may outshine your usual favorites.
