Description
The "Perfect Pollinator™ Red" Native Fuchsia (Correa pulchella) captivates with its intensely dark pink, almost red blossoms, brightening gardens from Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (Early Spring). As a petite mounding shrub, its deep-hued flowers not only enhance the garden's visual appeal but also serve as a magnet for pollinators, making it a cherished addition to many gardens.
Ideal for both in-ground planting and pot culture, this plant thrives when sandy soils are enriched with a premium soil conditioner. To maintain its radiant bloom, feed with a balanced fertiliser during Djeran (Autumn) and Djilba (Early Spring).
