In summer, the shiny leaves of Ruby Anniversary Abelia (Abelia chinensis 'Keiser') are joined by fragrant light pink blossoms. All this fragrance and seasonal interest are packed into an easy-care shrub typically ignored by deer and rabbits. Ruby Anniversary can take more cold than most abelias and still produce the sweet-smelling flowers on gracefully arching branches. You will love the fragrant blooms almost as much as the butterflies they attract.

In spring, new glossy red leaves begin to appear on the abelia, and eventually turn shiny dark green. So, this plant packs plenty of color early each season even before the flowers appear in late summer to fall. You also can enjoy the fragrant blooms of your Ruby Anniversary Abelia by cutting some stems for delicate pink color in a flower arrangement. Ruby Anniversary grows to nearly 6 feet tall once mature and spreads in a mounding form to about 5 feet across. This makes it an excellent choice as a screen or a focal plant in the middle or back of a garden bed.

Ruby Anniversary Abelia Care

Abelias need partial to full sun and have average water and soil needs. The only other care Ruby Anniversary Abelia needs is a pruning for shape in early spring just as new leaves begin to emerge on the plant. If the shrub was damaged in winter, add a granular fertilizer designed for woody plants to help it along in spring. Ruby Anniversary is cold hardy to zone 5 and can take heat up to zone 9.

Ruby Anniversary Abelia Spacing

The more Ruby Anniversary Abelia shrubs in your landscape, the more of their sweet fragrance you can enjoy. If you plant a mass of these abelias in a group or as a border, be sure to space them about 5 to 6 feet apart to account for their mature size.

Interesting Fact(s) - Ruby Anniversary abelia was developed in Ossining, New York by Susan Keiser.
