Correa alba

How to grow Correa alba in NZ

Correa alba grows best in full sun to part shade in well drained soil and performs exceptionally well in coastal and exposed sites. It tolerates wind, salt, and poor soils. Water regularly during establishment, then it becomes drought tolerant once established. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils for best performance.

Correa alba care tips

Correa alba is very low maintenance once established. Water during extended dry periods and apply a light fertiliser in spring if needed. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. It is highly resilient and easy care in most conditions.

Correa alba size, spacing, and growth rate

Correa alba typically grows to around 1 to 2 metres in height and width. Space plants about 1 to 1.5 metres apart for hedging or allow more room for feature planting. It has a moderate growth rate and forms a dense rounded shrub over time.

Landscaping uses for Correa alba

Correa alba is ideal for coastal gardens, hedging, and screening where a hardy plant is required. Its foliage provides contrast and works well with other shrubs and native plantings. It is also useful for low maintenance landscapes and erosion control in exposed areas.
