Description
Correa pulchella is a spectacular compact native correa renowned for its vibrant orange-red bell-shaped flowers and neat growth habit that creates stunning displays in Australian gardens. This attractive cultivar produces masses of pendant tubular flowers in brilliant orange-red tones 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 dense, 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 spectacular orange-red flowering create vibrant winter displays.
