Canyon Creek Abelia is a long-blooming evergreen shrub with a compact mounding habit. Its glossy dark green leaves emerge tinged with bronze and earn a dazzling bronze-rose color in fall. Clusters of fragrant tubular pinkish-white flowers bloom on new wood from late spring into fall. Flowers best in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils.
