Correa alba

Correa alba, or White Correa, is a hardy, compact shrub native to coastal regions of southeastern Australia. Growing up to 1.5 meters tall and wide, it features rounded, grey-green leaves with a velvety texture and produces dainty, star-shaped white to pale pink flowers from autumn to spring. Its understated blooms and dense foliage make it a versatile choice for a variety of landscapes.

Thriving in well-drained soils, White Correa tolerates full sun to partial shade and is highly resistant to drought, salt spray, and wind, making it ideal for coastal gardens, native plantings, and informal hedges. Its nectar-rich flowers attract birds and pollinators, contributing to local biodiversity.

With its resilience, low-maintenance nature, and year-round appeal, Correa alba is a valuable addition to gardens and restoration projects focused on native and sustainable landscaping.
