Growing notes
- Native to coastal southern Australia — adapted to sandy soils and salt-laden winds
- Distinct from native fuchsia Correa reflexa already in the database — white correa has open star-shaped flowers rather than tubular bells, suiting native bees rather than honeyeaters
- Salt tolerant and drought tolerant — excellent coastal hedging and structural shrub
- Tolerates clipping for formal hedges
