Correa reflexa
Also called Native Fuchsia
Correa reflexa, commonly known as common correa or native fuchsia, is a shrub which is endemic to Australia.
Correa reflexa prefers a position with good drainage and some shade. The species is generally not suited to tropical regions, although use of forms from sub-tropical areas of New South Wales may afford some success. Tip pruning after flowering promotes a more compact form and enhanced flowering in the following season. Plants are generally pest and disease free. Propagation from seed is difficult, but plants may be readily propagated from semi-mature cuttings of new seasons growth which also ensures plants are true-to-form.
Correa reflexa has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
