Growing & Maintenance Tips for Abelia mosanensis Color Choice® 'Sweet Emotion®'
Light: Full sun (6+ hrs/day) is best, but can grow and bloom well in part sun (4-6 hrs sun/day).
Soil: Any average, well-drained soil will do.
Water: Average water needs. Some drought tolerance once established, but if it gets very dry during its bloom time, flowering will be compromised.
Fertilizing: Nothing special is required. One application of a granular fertilizer formulated for shrubs is sufficient.
Pruning: Little needed; if desired, prune to shape immediately after flowering.
