This low spreading evergreen shrub has a dense habit of round-oval foliage that is green above and grey-green below, giving an overall greener appearance than other Correa varieties. Pink, salmon, or orange flowers bloom over a long season from fall to spring hanging like bells from the branches. Does well in coastal conditions. Adapted to extended periods of drought and tolerant of either sun or shade.
