A small shrub with oval shaped leaves and red to orange coloured bell-shaped flowers that grows up to 1.2 metres. There are several forms available with plants varying in flower colour from pink to orange to red. These plants can be used as a low informal screenor hedge, for contrast in mixed planting and suit native, wildlife and cottage style gardens. This correa grows best in full sun, is tolerant of coastal locations and will attract nectar eating birds.
