Correa glabra Barossa Gold

Common Name:
Rock Correa 'Barossa Gold'

Description:
Correa glabra 'Barossa Gold' is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its year-round golden foliage, which provides a striking contrast to its dusky carmine, bell-shaped flowers that bloom from mid-winter to late spring. This low-maintenance plant thrives in Melbourne's climate, performing well in both full sun and part shade. The foliage exhibits a more intense golden hue when exposed to higher light levels. 'Barossa Gold' is adaptable to various soil types, provided they are well-drained, and is both frost and drought tolerant once established. Its dense, mounded growth habit makes it ideal for use as a feature plant in shrubbery, low hedging, or container planting.
