Description
Add year-round charm to your landscape with Abelia – Canyon Creek, a compact evergreen shrub prized for its glossy foliage and long-lasting blooms. This variety features dark green leaves with light green veins and coppery-bronze undertones, which transition to a stunning bronze-rose hue in the fall. From early summer through mid-fall, delicate white tubular flowers with soft shell-pink overtones bloom in clusters, emerging from rose-colored buds and attracting butterflies, bees, and birds. With its tidy, mounded shape and ornamental leaves that persist into winter, this shrub makes a standout choice for borders, mass plantings, or foundation beds.
Versatile and low-maintenance, Abelia – Canyon Creek thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts to a wide range of soil types. It grows to approximately 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide, filling out beautifully to the ground and requiring little pruning—just a light trim after flowering to preserve next season’s blooms. Its slow growth and evergreen nature make it ideal for containers, especially in the “thriller” role of combination plantings. Whether used in garden beds or patio pots, this hybrid abelia adds color, fragrance, and texture to any outdoor setting while resisting deer and tolerating mild urban pollution.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
