Summary

Correa glabra, commonly known as Coliban River Rock Fuchsia, is an evergreen shrub native to dry sclerophyll forests and rocky outcrops in Eastern Australia, particularly in Victoria and New South Wales. This plant typically reaches a height of 2.7 meters (8 feet 10 inches) and has a similar spread, forming a dense, bushy habit. Its leaves are dark green, glossy, and elliptical in shape. The tubular flowers are pale green to yellow, sometimes with a reddish tinge, and are most prolific in autumn and winter, providing a subtle yet attractive display. The flowers are particularly favored by nectar-feeding birds.

Coliban River Rock Fuchsia is valued for its hardiness, drought tolerance, and ability to attract wildlife. It is often used as a low screening shrub, informal hedge, or container plant in gardens. This species is also suitable for coastal gardens due to its salt tolerance. It thrives in a range of soil types, from sandy to clay, as long as they are well-drained. While it can withstand frost and drought, it benefits from occasional watering during extended dry periods. Pruning can encourage a more compact form and denser foliage.CC BY-SA 4.0
