Nursery contributed plant descriptions

As above but with fragrant Lavender Pink flowers. This fabulous Abelia is in my sister Bobby's yard and has blooms unlike any we've seen. They are definitely more Deep Lavender than pink and are VERY, VERY fragrant. (It came from an old, old homestead where she lived at one time.)
