Correa glabra, also known as Rock Correa, is a versatile evergreen shrub that is native to southeastern Australia. It has a neat, rounded habit and produces small, bell-shaped flowers that bloom from autumn to spring. The flowers are typically greenish-yellow with a red or pink tinge, and they are followed by fleshy, edible berries. This hardy plant is ideal for low-maintenance landscaping as it requires minimal pruning and watering once established. It is also well-suited to coastal gardens, as it can tolerate salt spray and windy conditions. Correa glabra is an excellent choice for attracting birds and other pollinators to your garden.
