Hardy and Low Maintenance

Correa plants are incredibly resilient, making them ideal for Australian climates. These shrubs are drought-tolerant once established and can withstand wind, salt and frost, making them perfect for coastal and inland gardens alike. Their hardy nature ensures they require minimal care, making them a low-maintenance option for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Beautiful Blooms for Year-Round Colour

The bell-shaped flowers of Correa plants bloom from autumn through winter, providing a splash of colour when many other plants are dormant. Available in a variety of shades, including white, pink, red, and yellow, Correa plants bring vibrancy to any garden. Their long-lasting blooms are also a magnet for native birds and pollinators, making your garden a haven for wildlife.

Caring For Correa Plants

Watering: Correa plants are drought-tolerant once established but appreciate deep watering in their first year and during prolonged dry periods.

Sunlight and Soil: Most varieties thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained soils. Coastal varieties like Correa Alba White do well in exposed conditions, while others like Correa Baeuerlenii prefer shaded areas.

Pruning: Light pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and more blooms. Trim back a third of the plant to maintain shape and prevent legginess.

Fertilising: Apply a slow-release native plant fertiliser in spring. Avoid over-fertilising to prevent excessive leaf growth.

Mulching: Use organic mulch around the base to conserve moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature, but leave space around the plant base to avoid rot.

Pest Control: Correa plants are mostly pest-resistant but may attract aphids or scale. Inspect regularly and treat with organic insecticide if necessary.

Frost and Wind Tolerance: Hardy to frost and wind, making them great for coastal or exposed areas. Coastal and inland varieties handle these conditions well.
