Learn About Your New Correa alba – White Correa
Correa alba – White Correa is a compact, evergreen Australian native shrub prized for its grey-green, felted foliageand abundant white, star-shaped flowers that bloom from autumn through spring. Growing to around 1–1.5 metres high and wide, it forms a dense, rounded shrub ideal for coastal gardens, native landscapes, informal hedging, or understorey planting in mixed borders.
Its soft, velvety leaves give it a distinctive texture, while its flowers attract pollinators and native birds, contributing to a healthy, biodiverse garden. Correa alba thrives in full sun to part shade, tolerates salt spray, drought, and light frosts, and requires minimal maintenance—a light prune after flowering encourages a neater shape and denser foliage.
Whether you're creating a wildlife-friendly native garden, softening a coastal edge, or looking for a small, resilient hedge, White Correa delivers subtle beauty, structure, and performance year-round.
