Abelia

Tubular fragrant flowers attract butterflies and glossy foliage provides fall color. Place this deciduous shrub in a sheltered area of the landscape, using it for textural effect as an accent or in hedges. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing crossing branches to encourage a strong framework.
