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.

Having lost 2 of my Canyon Creek Abela in a deep winter freeze this past February, I was on a mission to replace them so that they would match the other 2 in my front beds. I looked all over the Dallas / Fort Worth area and was unable to locate any that were Canyon Creek variety. I found Wilson Bros online, called and was told that not only do they have them, they ship ! I was thrilled. In less than 1 week I had my two new abelas…they were packaged beautifully so no soil was lost and they were in PERFECT condition. We planted them right away and they already look as big as the ones that survived our winter deep freeze. As a result, after not being able to locate two additional plants that didn’t survive the storm, I ordered Loropetalum from Wilson Bros as well. Exact same experience! Couldn’t be happier and would definitely order from them again!——————————————-Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Both plants arrived promptly and in great shape. They are thriving in my flower garden.—————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
My plants arrived extremely well packed and moist. I have been unable to put them in the ground because my Zone8b location has had over 10 inches of rain everyday for 2 weeks! I look forward to soon being able to enjoy the changing colors and hopefully the hummingbirds. I have ordered over 30 plants and trees from Wilson Bros and will continue to. Great customer service and well loved plants.——————————————-Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
