Abelia mosanensis 'SMNAMDS'. Developed by Timothy D. Wood from Spring Meadow Nursery, Grand Haven, Michigan in 2012. Compared to the species, it is more uniform, has darker colored buds (dark rosy pink) and is more fragrant (sweet jasmine). It's hardy down to -30 F, which would be zone 4. A Proven Winners selection. Attractive seed heads. Orange fall foliage. Semi-evergreen.
