Coastal Pink™ Correa 180MM

Correa alba ‘COR10’ 'Coastal Pink™'

I am Coastal Pink™ 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 pale pink 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 for which I provide food and habitat.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

My attractive pink blooms appear 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
