Benara Bell Correa
Description
Benara Bell is a charming native correa renowned for its distinctive bell-shaped flowers and compact growth habit that creates beautiful displays in Australian gardens. This attractive cultivar produces masses of pendant bell-shaped flowers that bloom from autumn through winter, providing valuable nectar sources when few other plants are flowering and attracting honeyeating birds. The small, oval leaves create attractive fine-textured evergreen foliage that maintains neat, compact growth habits. Hardy and adaptable once established, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade positions with good drought tolerance. Perfect for borders, containers, and areas where compact native shrubs with reliable winter flowering create structured landscape displays.
