Correa alba 'Pink'

A$9.00

Correa alba 'Coastal Pink' is a hardy Australian native shrub valued for its pale pink, bell-shaped flowers and resilience in coastal environments. Unlike the common white Correa alba, which has open star-like flowers, this variety typically features more distinct tubular or bell-shaped blooms that appear primarily from autumn through spring.

Key Characteristics

  • Appearance: Rounded mound with attractive blue-green to silvery foliage and soft pink flowers.

  • Dimensions: Generally grows to 2m high and 2m wide, though it can be maintained at a smaller size with pruning.

  • Hardiness: Highly tolerant of salt spray, wind, drought, and light frost once established.

  • Wildlife: Excellent for attracting nectar-feeding birds and pollinators to the garden.


Garden Use & Maintenance

  • Best For: Low-growing borders, informal hedges, coastal screening, or as a feature plant in rockeries.

  • Position: Thrives in full sun to part shade; a sunny spot usually yields more flowers.

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil but is adaptable to most types.

  • Care: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense growth
