Correa alba

Description

Meet our little coastal gem! This adorable plant thrives in sandy soils and can withstand salty winds, making it perfect for gardens near the coast. It's happy in a sunny spot, but also does well in part shade - just be aware that flowering will be less vibrant in this position. One of its best features is how lovely it looks after a bit of pruning - you can shape it up to create a formal look. And don't worry if you don't have outdoor space - it's great in containers too! The blooms come out in late autumn to winter, with delicate small white flowers.
