Correa alba Prostrate

Common Name:
Prostrate White Correa

Description:
Correa alba Prostrate is a low-growing, spreading form of the hardy Australian native Correa alba. It features dense, grey-green foliage and delicate white star-shaped flowers that bloom from autumn through winter, attracting birds and pollinators. This variety is highly tolerant of coastal conditions, thriving in sandy, well-drained soils and resisting salt spray. Its prostrate habit makes it an excellent choice for ground cover, erosion control, or cascading over retaining walls. Drought-resistant once established, it performs well in full sun to part shade, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens.
