{"product_id":"ruby-anniversary®-abelia","title":"Ruby Anniversary® Abelia - Abelia chinensis","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn autumn, butterflies and hummingbirds need to consume a lot of calories in preparation for egg-laying, migration, or dormancy, so it's important that your butterfly garden include fall-blooming food sources. Ruby Anniversary abelia fits that role perfectly. In late summer, it bursts forth with hundreds of white, bell-shaped flowers, each emitting a sweet, jasmine-like perfume, that bring in hungry hummers and butterflies by the score. It really is a sight to behold as they swoop and dodge each other to get to the nectar, and the show lasts for 4+ weeks while the plant continues to bloom. Even after the flowers fall, the plant continues to look great, as each leaves behind a flower-shaped ruby bract that persists through the rest of the autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuby Anniversary abelia is also special because it's hardier than other summer\/fall blooming abelias, allowing gardeners even in zone 5 to finally enjoy the amazing display. This unique flowering shrub from Proven Winners definitely deserves to be better known and far more widely grown!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVital details:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 4-6' tall and wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e full sun (6+ hrs\/day), Part sun (4-6 hrs\/day)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e USDA zone 5-9 (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.greatgardenplants.com\/pages\/shopping-by-zone\" title=\"Find your hardiness zone\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFind your hardiness zone\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePollinator value: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eattracts hummingbirds;\u003cspan\u003e attracts adult butterflies of many species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNotable features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Proven Winners, fragrant, deer resistant, long blooming, fall blooming, good for hedges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruby Anniversary abelia does not need regular pruning, but can be pruned or trimmed in spring if desired.
