Notes
'Rose Creek' glossy abelia (Abelia 'Rose Creek') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers are fragrant and bloom from late spring into autumn, so butterflies and bees visit for months. The evergreen leaves also show fall color. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Butterfly bush, Fountain grass, Coral Sunset peony, and Niobe clematis.
