Requires full sun and flowers on old wood, which means that it should be pruned after flowering. Recommended by Michael Dirr. More hardy than A. x grandiflora which has not survived the Michigan winters for me. Pink buds open to fragrant, tubular, pinkish-white flowers. Attractive to butterflies. Fall foliage is orange-red. Semi-evergreen. AKA Zabelia tyaihyonii and commonly call fragrant Abelia or Korean Abelia (It's a native of Korea). Abelia 'Bridal Bouquet' could be a marketing name for the species or possibly the same as A. mosanensis 'Monia'.
