Description
The "Perfect Pollinator™ Dark Pink" Native Fuchsia (a Correa hybrid) adds a vibrant splash of dark pink blossoms to any garden from Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (Early Spring). This small mounding shrub is not only a visual treat but also a magnet for local pollinators, making it an ideal choice for those keen on encouraging biodiversity.
Ideal for both in-ground planting and pots, this cultivar thrives best when the soil, especially in sandy terrains, is enriched with a high-quality soil conditioner. For a flourishing bloom and overall health, it's recommended to nourish with a balanced fertiliser during Djeran (Autumn) and Djilba (Early Spring).
