Rose Creek Abelia is a compact, semi-evergreen shrub that delivers multi-season interest with minimal maintenance. In spring and summer, it produces clusters of fragrant white blooms that attract pollinators, while its reddish-bronze new growth matures to glossy green foliage. As the seasons change, the leaves take on warm, burgundy tones that persist into winter. Its tidy, mounding habit makes it ideal for a variety of landscape uses, from borders to foundation plantings. Rose Creek Abelia is both drought-tolerant and deer resistant, making it an easy-care favorite for Southern gardens and beyond. Rose Creek is a wonderful nectar source for attracting butterflies. Not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival. When planting this Abelia, dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball 1/2 inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil.
