This groundcover Correa lights up your garden with masses of bright orange-red bells in winter. Needing very little maintenance and staying small and compact, Fire Bells™ is ideal for patio pots, smaller gardens, and even windowboxes. Native birds will love it as much as you - and it would look fantastic planted alongside dwarf red-and-yellow grevilleas like Fire Cracker, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and Mini Marvel.
