DESCRIPTION: Native dense mounding shrub, with small dark glossy leaves and abundant small creamy-green tipped, red bell flowers from mid summer to late winter. Sometimes called native fuchsia.
USES:  Native and wildlife gardens, informal hedges, shrubberies, mixed beds, pots.
PLANTING: Plant in full sun to part or dappled shade, sheltered from strong winds. Unlike some natives, correas are happy in alkaline soils. Mulch after planting to retain moisture and regulate soil temperatures as the young plant establishes. Tolerates frost, coastal spray, and dry spells once established.
CARE: A light prune once flowering has finished will help give the plant shape and keep it dense. Follow with an application of a native slow release fertiliser.

YOUR PLANTS: These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80 mm x 42 mm wide.
