Description

What sets the Canyon Creek Abelia apart is its foliage. The plant's leaves, a stunning mix of green and bronze, create a visually striking contrast. The color of the foliage changes with the seasons, turning from a vibrant green in spring and summer to a rich bronze and red in fall. This color change adds depth to your garden, making it stand out.

But the Canyon Creek Abelia isn't just a pretty face. It's also a magnet for butterflies and bees, making it an excellent addition to any pollinator-friendly garden. The sweet scent of its flowers enhances its charm, providing a delightful sensory experience.

Best of all, the Canyon Creek Abelia is a low-maintenance plant. It can adapt to different soil types and tolerates both sun and partial shade, making it an ideal fit for diverse garden settings across the United States. Its compact size and dense growth habit make it a top choice for hedges, borders, or as a standalone feature in your landscape.

Canyon Creek Abelia Care

This beautiful shrub loves full sun to partial shade, so choose a location that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. The Canyon Creek Abelia also prefers slightly acidic, well-drained soil.

Regular watering and proper fertilization keep your Abelia healthy. Make sure the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy. During dry periods, increase watering to prevent drought stress. Applying a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer will provide the necessary nutrients for optimal growth.

Prune Canyon Creek Abelia in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and selectively prune the longest ones to maintain a compact form. This pruning cycle will stimulate new growth and encourage abundant blooms.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.
