Canyon Creek Abelia – 3 Gallon Pot

---

‘Canyon Creek’ Abelia sports new leaves in spring with a coppery orange to peachy salmon tint that turns to a yellow-green during the summer. From mid summer well into fall abundant clusters of fragrant, nectar-rich  tubular white flowers will have the butterflies and hummingbirds thanking you for planting this one. Fall brings coppery foliage color that contrasts beautifully with the rose pink calyxes. Canyon Creek has demonstrated high resistance to heat, humidity and disease, and when established is exceptionally drought tolerant. Oh…and deer, rabbits and insects won’t touch it. A fine selection for landscape borders and home foundation plantings.

Canyon Creek Abelia is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. That said, established plants are exceptionally drought tolerant and the best flowering and foliage color occur in full to mostly sun. Maintenance is minimal. We prune our Abelia for shaping purposes one time a year in late winter or early spring, however plants respond very well to more frequent shearing for hedges or formal shapes. Might be semi-deciduous during some winters in zones north of 7a-7b.
