Correa lawrenceana

Mountain Correa. One of the largest growing of these Australasian evergreens, becoming a large shrub. It is one of the best of the genus for foliage effect, with relatively small leathery leaves, velvety beige on their undersides though pink-flushed on emergence, borne on distinctly orange-brown twigs. Masses of pendulous, narrow, bell-like red flowers are seen in spring. This proved surprisingly tough in the killing winter of 2010/11, at least in some areas. For sun and shelter.
