Abelia x grandiflora 'Rose Creek' (Dirr, 2001) is the first abelia chosen from Michael Dirr's breeding program at the University of Georgia. It was raised from open-pollinated seed of Abelia chinensis and named for Rose Creek in Oconee County, Georgia. It was chosen for its denseness and compactness which make it an ideal shrub for most gardens, especially when you add in the fact that it is evergreen, blooms for three seasons and the flowers have a light fragrance.
Spring to autumn. 2-3 ft. x 3-4 ft.
