It grows to only 2.5 to 3 feet in height with an equal to slightly larger spread. An abundance of fragrant, pale pink to white flowers are produced during summer and into fall. Has shown very good resistance to drought, insects, disease and deer. Butterflies and hummingbirds love the flowers!

It's dense, mounding habit make Lemon Zest Abelia a good selection for foundation plantings, around decks and patios, or in small to large groupings on slopes or in landscape beds and borders.
