The growth habit is nice and dense, forming a nice mounded shape. The flowers will keep appearing until frost.

This plant gives you a wonderful look with very little maintenance and fuss. It is adaptable and beautiful as well as easy to grow.

This is a terrific plant if you have deer problems. They don't like to eat this shrub, so you can enjoy both the deer and the flowers. Keep the shrub somewhere you can enjoy the fragrance of the flowers.

Rose Creek Abelia is easy to grow. Plant it in moist, well drained soil and water it frequently until it is well established. Once established, this abelia is drought tolerant. Shearing can be done in late winter to keep the plant neat and tidy.

Feed the plant in the early spring before new growth begins. This plant is fairly maintenance free.
