Native Fushsia - Correa pulchella Little Cate

Correa pulchella Little Cate is a hardy, low growing Australian native that produces masses of pink, tubular, bell shaped flowers from late summer through winter. Its dense, evergreen foliage creates a beautiful carpet like effect, perfect for covering embankments or adding texture to native gardens. Little Cate performs exceptionally well in coastal environments and requires minimal maintenance once established. Ideal for Melbourne’s dry and windy conditions.

Key Features:

• Soil: Adaptable to most well drained soils, including sandy or loamy types.
• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade for best flowering.
• Watering: Keep moist in dry spells during establishment, minimal thereafter.
• Fertiliser: Use low phosphorus slow release fertiliser in early spring.
• Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain compact shape.
• Flowering: Main flush from late summer into winter.

Prune immediately after flowering to maintain density and encourage strong new growth.
