Correa Windsong

Common Name:
Windsong Correa

Description:
Correa ‘Windsong’ is a compact, evergreen Australian native shrub admired for its soft, muted foliage and delicate, pendulous bell-shaped flowers. This variety produces an abundance of creamy white to soft blush-pink blooms from autumn through winter, providing subtle colour and interest during the cooler months. Its dense, rounded habit and fine grey-green foliage make it an excellent choice for low hedging, borders, and native garden plantings. Well suited to Melbourne conditions, ‘Windsong’ thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil, though it is adaptable to a range of soil types once established. It is drought tolerant and handles light frost, requiring minimal maintenance aside from occasional pruning to maintain its shape. The nectar-rich flowers attract birds and pollinators, making it ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens while offering a refined, understated aesthetic.
