Rose Creek Abelia (Abelia x ‘Rose Creek’) is a semi-evergreen shrub that adds year-round interest and color to your landscape. New foliage emerges with a subtle pink tint before maturing to rich dark green, while the stems maintain a pinkish-purple hue throughout the season. In spring, delicate white flowers bloom, leaving bright pink sepals that enhance visual appeal. In winter, the leaves transition to a deep purple, creating multi-season beauty. Deer resistant and pollinator friendly, Rose Creek Abelia is a versatile and low-maintenance choice for any garden.

Its compact yet spreading growth habit makes it ideal as a foundation plant, hedge, or accent in mixed borders. The combination of seasonal foliage color and delicate flowers ensures a continuous display of interest throughout the year.

Rose Creek Abelia Care

Plant in amended, well-drained soil for best results. Water regularly during establishment and provide supplemental water during dry periods. Prune lightly in early spring before new leaf emergence to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth.

Rose Creek Abelia Growth & Spacing

Rose Creek Abelia typically grows 3–4 feet tall and wide. For foundation plantings, space plants at least 5 feet apart on center. For hedges, space shrubs 3–4 feet apart on center for a dense, uniform appearance.
