Correa Tall Red

Correa Tall Red Details

Correa Tall Red is a hardy shrub that is grown for its foliage and flowers. The foliage is made up of branchlets which carry small, olive-green leaves held densely. This becomes adorned with showy, red flowers in summer and autumn. It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 1.5 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 Tall Red is commonly included in borders and mixed plantings, planted around outdoor living areas, trimmed into a hedge, or maintained in a container. It is well suited to mass planting, including in coastal gardens, or planting where other plants may struggle.
