Correa reflexa

Correa reflexa, or Native Fuchsia, is a versatile and hardy shrub native to Australia, commonly found in woodlands, heathlands, and forests. Growing up to 1.5 meters tall, it features small, ovate green leaves and striking, tubular flowers in shades of red, pink, or green with yellow tips, blooming from autumn to spring. The pendent flowers are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds and insects, making it an excellent plant for supporting biodiversity.

Native Fuchsia thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates full sun to partial shade. It is drought-tolerant once established and adapts well to various conditions, making it suitable for native gardens, understorey plantings, and informal hedges. Its compact form and showy blooms make it a favorite for naturalistic and habitat-focused landscapes.

With its vibrant flowers, adaptability, and ecological value, Correa reflexa is a delightful and practical choice for enhancing native gardens and restoration projects.
