  • Description

  • Notes

A mounding shrub that grows to 3' tall and 6-8' wide, the Correa pulchella exhibits typical dark green foliage with a heavy show of pendant, clear pink flowers in winter and spring. When in bloom, the plant is very showy. With good drainage, the plant is tolerant of most soils. It grows best in sun to part shade, but will tolerate mostly shade if kept on the dry side. -Monterey Bay Nursery
