Correa reflexa nummularifolia

Correa nummularifolia

Correa nummularifolia is a vigorous and fast-growing, ground covering plant. The foliage is made up of branchlets which carry small, olive-green leaves held densely. This becomes adorned with lime-coloured flowers in autumn which hang gracefully across the plant. It typically grows to 30 cm tall and 1 m wide, and performs best when positioned in full-sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It tolerates dry periods, moderate frost, and coastal environments, but is intolerant of heavy, wet soils. Correa nummularifolia is commonly used as a groundcover, included in borders, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container. It is well suited to mass planting on a bank or the like.
