Rose Creek Abelia

Rose Creek Abelia, (Abelia x chinensis 'Rose Creek'), is a decorative, broadleaf evergreen shrub. Your Rose Creek Abelia will astound you right from the start!

New foliage in early spring emerges with a delightfully pink tint that soon transitions to a vibrant green. The contrast against the red stems is amazing, drawing the eye to the glossy, evergreen foliage. As spring merges into summer, 1/2-inch long tubular flowers appear.

Blooms emerge from mauvy-pink sepals that look like stars! Each bloom emerges pure-white and gives the shrub a lovely two-tone effect. As if that isn't enough, these darling flowers are fragrant too!

Butterflies and hummingbirds are particularly fond of Rose Creek Abelia's blossoms and will veritably flock to its impressive display.

As if this remarkable parade of decorative color and form weren't enough, your Rose Creek Abelia will continue its ornamental show in autumn when its evergreen foliage takes on a soft, purple hue for the cold winter months.

How to Use Rose Creek Abelia In The Landscape

Rose Creek Abelia is a beloved shrub among gardeners in warmer growing zones! This popular variety is the most compact of the choices available, so you can fit one in just about anywhere. The mounding, gracefully arching stems provide a clean and ornamental appearance year-round!

#ProPlantTips For Care

Rose Creek Abelia does best in full sun and even part shade without losing its colorful presence in the landscape. Rose Creek Abelia is drought hardy once established, and even your deer will tend to pass it by.

Abelia is adaptable to a variety of well-draining soils and very easy to care for. Thriving best in slightly acidic soils, these shrubs are not heavy on watering needs. Water well through their first year as they established and after that Rose Creek is pretty tough.

It doesn't even require pruning to maintain its naturally-lovely form, but trimming spent blossoms will certainly encourage a more prolific, floral show. Prune in late winter is best.

Overall, it's simply a wonderful, low-maintenance shrub with a lot of color and fragrance! Don't miss out on this amazing ornamental shrub and the years of beauty and enjoyment it has to offer. Order your Rose Creek Abelia from Nature Hills today and add year-round appeal to your landscape!
