Correa Catie Bec

Common Name:
Native Fuchsia 'Catie Bec'

Description:
Correa 'Catie Bec' is a compact evergreen shrub reaching approximately 1 metre in height and 1.5 metres in width. From autumn through spring, it produces an abundance of pale pink, star-shaped flowers that attract nectar-feeding birds and pollinators. The small, rounded green leaves provide a lush backdrop to the delicate blooms. This hardy plant thrives in a variety of soil types and climates, including coastal areas, and is both frost hardy and drought tolerant once established. It performs well in full sun to part shade and is suitable for use in containers, mass plantings, or as a feature plant in garden beds. Light pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape and encourage denser growth.
