Description

Correa reflexa nummularifolia, also known as Roundleaf Correa or Native Fuchsia, is a hardy, low, semi-prostrate shrub with dense leathery green foliage and soft lime yellow tubular flowers. Flowering from autumn through spring, it provides reliable colour and texture in both coastal and inland gardens. Its tough, low maintenance nature and ability to thrive in poor soils make it a standout choice for Melbourne landscapes seeking resilience and native charm.

Key Features:

Pale lemon lime tubular flowers from autumn to spring.
Low, spreading habit forms dense groundcover.
Extremely hardy and drought tolerant once established.
Bird attracting tubular blooms rich in nectar.
Tolerant of coastal conditions, wind, and salt spray.

Landscaping Ideas

Perfect for native, coastal, or low water gardens, Correa reflexa nummularifolia creates a durable, bird-attracting carpet of soft green foliage and lemon-toned blooms. Use it for erosion control on embankments or as a feature groundcover among gravel or native grasses. Pairs beautifully with Westringia, Myoporum, and Lomandra varieties for contrast and resilience.
