Correa Alba Star Showers

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units

Correa alba 'Star Showers' is a compact Australian native shrub featuring striking grey-green foliage with creamy white variegation. In late autumn through winter, it produces charming white bell-shaped flowers that attract native birds and pollinators. Its dense, mounding habit and salt tolerance make it ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, or as a low hedge.

This hardy shrub thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils. It tolerates coastal winds, light frosts, and dry periods once established, making it well-suited to gardens in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and coastal Queensland.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. It responds well to annual feeding with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser. Mulching will help conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds, particularly in drier inland locations.

Excellent companion plants for Correa alba 'Star Showers' include Westringia fruticosa, Myoporum parvifolium, and Chrysocephalum apiculatum, which complement its foliage and enhance biodiversity.
