Abelia

Elegant, long-blooming, fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees and contrast with the vibrant stems. Nice in containers or as a low hedge. Deer resistant, drought tolerant and generally pest-free. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing crossing branches to encourage a strong framework.
