This resilient, ground-hugging native correa is worth trialling out in the unpromising parts of your garden - where the soil is always dry or often wet, wher the sea spray drenches it, where the borders are a little drab in the off-season. Its subtle, soft colouring in or out of flower will blend harmoniously with yourother plants, and the bell flowers which appear through the year will feed local birds and insects.
