Description
"Orange Glow", a cultivar of Native Fuchsia (a hybrid of Correa pulchella), captures attention with its deep orange blossoms kissed with pink. Flowering from Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (early spring), this small shrub delivers an intense hue that can brighten up any garden setting, whether it's in an expansive bed or nestled in a decorative pot.
For those looking to cultivate "Orange Glow" directly in the ground, enriching poor or sandy soils with a high-quality soil conditioner is essential for optimal growth. This plant thrives in full to partial sunlight, requiring consistent watering in its nascent stages but demonstrating increased drought tolerance as it matures. To enhance its vigorous flowering display, treat "Orange Glow" with a native plant fertiliser during its prime blooming months in Djeran (Autumn) and Djilba (early spring).
