Glossy Abelia

About this plant

Abelia x grandiflora 'Rose Creek', commonly known as Glossy Abelia, is a top-performing evergreen shrub lauded for its glossy, dark green leaves that develop a beautiful bronze-purple tint in cooler weather, adding year-round interest to your landscape. From late spring through fall, clusters of dainty, white bell-shaped flowers emerge, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden. Its dense, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mass plantings, or as a graceful informal hedge. Exceptionally versatile and low-maintenance, 'Rose Creek' Abelia thrives in a variety of conditions, tolerating both heat and moderate drought once established, making it a robust and rewarding addition to nearly any garden style.

Care & maintenance
