{"product_id":"sweet-emotion®-abelia","title":"Sweet Emotion® Abelia - Abelia mosanensis","description":"\u003cp\u003eLooking for something a little different for your butterfly garden? You’ve just found it! Sweet Emotion abelia is a very special shrub indeed. It’s unlike any other abelia for two reasons: one, it’s extremely hardy, thriving even in chilly USDA zone 4. And second, it blooms in spring with the most amazing jasmine fragrance. The plant was originally collected in Latvia several decades ago, and the plant geeks at Proven Winners ColorChoice Shrubs worked with it to bring out the bright pink in the flower buds, as well as a slightly smaller, more refined habit than the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abundant flowers serve as a welcome meal for butterflies emerging from dormancy in spring, and swallowtail butterflies are especially attracted to it. It makes a fantastic specimen or hedge plant, in your butterfly garden or anywhere in your landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVital details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-6’ tall and wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun (6+ hrs\/day), part sun (4-6 hrs\/day)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate moisture; tolerates dry conditions once established, but flowering is best when not stressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: USDA zone 4-8 (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.greatgardenplants.com\/pages\/shopping-by-zone\"\u003eFind your hardiness zone\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e White and pink\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e attracts butterflies, especially swallowtails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Features: \u003c\/strong\u003eProven Winners, rare \u0026amp; unusual, proven winners, fragrant, dry soils, drought tolerant, deer resistant, cold tolerant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specimen, borders, hedge, landscaping, foundation planting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot size\u003c\/strong\u003e: one quart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant name: \u003c\/strong\u003eSweet Emotion\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e \u003cem\u003eAbelia mosanensis\u003c\/em\u003e ‘SMNAMDS’ pp#27,370, cbr#5937\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"buttarflybushes.com","offers":[{"title":"One Quart","offer_id":39663530934448,"sku":"00575","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0235\/7061\/2270\/products\/Abelia_Sweet_Emotion_IMG_0004.jpg?v=1614963316","url":"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/products\/sweet-emotion%c2%ae-abelia","provider":"buttarflybushes.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
