Description: Correa PERFECT POLLINATOR® ‘Red’ is a compact, evergreen Australian native shrub grown for its masses of rich red, tubular flowers and strong wildlife appeal. Bred as a reliable garden performer, it is especially valued for attracting nectar-feeding birds and pollinators while also providing neat, tidy foliage year-round. Flowering is typically heaviest from autumn through winter and into spring, bringing welcome colour at a time when many other plants are quieter in the garden. It performs best in a sunny to partly shaded position in well-drained soil and is well suited to Melbourne conditions once established. This variety is ideal for native gardens, mixed borders, cottage-style planting and decorative pots, where its dense habit and long flowering season make it an excellent low-maintenance feature plant.
