Abelia 'Rose Creek'
Abelia 'Rose Creek' is an amazing plant species for any garden! It grows as an evergreen shrub, with a rounded habit and silver-green foliage. It features clusters of lavender-pink, bell-shaped flowers throughout the summer that attract butterflies and other pollinators. It's versatile, growing best in partial shade to full sun, and can easily reach up to 6 feet in height with a spread of 4 to 6 feet! Its thick foliage is quite resistant to deer, and its drought tolerant quality makes it easy to maintain. Plant it by itself as a specimen, or in groups for a showier display. Abelia 'Rose Creek' is a great choice for gardens of all sizes!
