Zabelia tyaihyoni, synonym Abelia mosanensis, the fragrant abelia, is a species of deciduous shrub in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae. Growing up to 2 meters high and wide, it is hardier than many related species, surviving temperatures as low as −20 °C (−4 °F). The tubular blooms are pinkish-white and highly scented, appearing in late Spring. The glossy green leaves turn red in autumn before falling.

Zabelia tyaihyoni is a popular garden shrub. The cultivar 'Korean Spring' (under the name Abelia mosanensis) has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2]
