Description

‘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.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 3 to 46 feet tall and equally as wide depending on pruning, the Canyon Creek Abelia is ideal for use as an accent or specimen, in groupings, or as a natural or formal clipped hedge in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Excellent for mass plantings on embankments. Combines beautifully with plants and trees that have purple, red or dark green foliage, such as Loropetalums, purple leaf Crape myrtles, and red-leaf Japanese maples. A fine selection for Asian-themed gardens, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, yellow theme gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedges, 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

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.
