Rose Creek Abelia is a compact mounding shrub with dark green foliage and clusters of showy white bell-shaped flowers which bloom in early Summer into Fall. In Fall the white blooms fade to a copper-rose color and the evergreen foliage will become purple for added interest during the winter months. This Abelia makes an excellent low hedge barrier plant or can be used in a mass planting. 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.
