A Bit More

Correa ‘Carmine Bells’ is a low-growing, evergreen shrub featuring a dense, mounding habit, velvety, gray-green to dark green oval leaves and a prolific display of pendant, tubular carmine-pink flowers that bloom from fall through spring. Perfect for mass planting, groundcover, container gardening, banks/slopes, low border. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is highly shade tolerant. It does well in dry shade (such as under mature oak trees). Low water needs once established, though occasional summer irrigation is helpful in hot summer regions. Prefers poor, rocky, or sandy, well-draining soils. Does not tolerate standing water. Highly deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
