Correa Dusky Bells 140MM

Correa reflexa x mannii 'Dusky Bells'

I am Correa Dusky Bells. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub - Hardy and Low Maintenance

Plant family Rutaceae

I am Correa ‘Dusky Bells’, an excellent evergreen garden plant with a prolific flowering habit. Sometimes I am called a “Native Fuchsia” my carmine-pink bell shaped flowers are a magnet for small nectar feeding birds. I am easy to grow and tolerate drought and frost. I have a spreading, compact and dense bushy habit with ovate leaves. Most of my flowering is during the cooler months of the year. I will thrive in most soils except those that are poorly drained.
