Correa reflexa nummularifolia

How to grow Correa reflexa nummularifolia in NZ

Correa reflexa nummularifolia grows best in full sun to light shade with free draining soil and good airflow. Choose a position that is not prone to waterlogging and provides some protection from severe inland frosts. Water regularly while the plant is establishing, then reduce watering once the root system is well developed. Mature plants tolerate dry periods reasonably well. A light application of balanced fertiliser in spring can support healthy growth and flowering. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture, keeping the mulch clear of the stems to reduce the risk of rot.

Feed lightly in spring if growth appears weak. Good sunlight, drainage, and occasional trimming help Correa reflexa nummularifolia remain healthy and compact, while its naturally hardy habit makes it well suited to low maintenance garden situations.
