I know I enjoy an outdoor living space where I can sit quietly, read a book, and listen to birds chirp.

We would like to dedicate this blog to the Rose Creek Abelia. Recently we had a question regarding which plant would be best to use in an area with little sunlight. Other aspects our friend wanted in her plant was for it to grow to 2 to 3 feet tall and have a white flower. Our suggestion... the Rose Creek Abelia. This is an ideal option for our friend and possibly for you, our reader, as well. Below is a spec. sheet with a few more details about the plant. Enjoy!
