Today’s Plant of the Week, fragrant abelia (Abelia mosanensis), will not wow anybody in a photograph, but if you happen across it in the landscape while it is in full bloom, be prepared to be swept off your feet by its unearthly fragrance, a long-lasting heady mix of citrus and jasmine that permeates late spring. It possesses an unimpressive habit resembling a weigela crossed with Tatarian honeysuckle. “Sweet Emotion” is a cultivar with improved hardiness that is now being produced by Proven Winners. Stop by Mom’s front desk to take a whiff of the cutting we have blooming in a vase!
