I am a compact Correa with small, glossy round leaves and yellow and red bell shaped, bird attracting flowers from mid-winter to summer.
Originally from Kangaroo Island I am a naturally occurring cultivar.
I am hardy and tolerant of a range of soils and conditions. I am a good choice for exposed locations and dry soils provided I receive adequate moisture until I am established.
Small nectar feeding blooms are attracted to my blooms.
