White Correa 180MM

Correa alba

I am White Correa. My family originated from South Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub - Hardy and Low Maintenance
Plant family Rutaceae
I am a hardy native shrub with very attractive 4 petaled white star flowers produced predominately through winter and spring but are sometimes seen at other times of the year. My leaves are blue green with a furry texture and are rounded in shape. Compact and very adaptable I can be clipped to a low maintenance topiary or hedge but maintain my screening density if left unclipped. Very hardy I am a great choice for exposed locations, coastal conditions, drought and limey soils. I attract birds and insects.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I flower in autumn and winter but can spot flower throughout the year
I attract small, nectar feeding birds and beneficial insects
I am suitable for exposed locations, windy areas and coastal planting

Height: 1.5m Width: 1.5m(Can be kept trimmed to Height: 1m Width: 1m)(Size at point of sale approx. 50cm including pot)
Water needs: Low (once established)I need minimal water once established
I am happy in most soils but prefer soils that are well drained and thrive in sand
Frost tolerance: High
