Correa 'Dusky Bells', (also known as 'Carmine Bells'), is a hardy, long-lived, evergreen shrub with carmine-pink or dusky-red flowers. The pendant, 1-inch tubular, fuchsia-like flowers bloom late fall through spring and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Red Australian Fuchsia is a low-growing, mounding plant densely covered with dark green, narrowly oval leaves that partially cover the beautiful flowers as if they were shy. Easy to grow, this Correa performs best in partial shade but will grow in full sun. Tolerant of coastal conditions, frost, and drought once established. Useful as a groundcover, in raised beds, containers, or slopes.
How large does it grow and what is its growth habit?
It typically grows to about 1 to 3 ft tall and spreads about 4 to 8 ft wide, with a low and spreading habit suited for groundcover or low shrub use.
What light and site conditions does it prefer?
It does best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. It tolerates coastal exposure, salt spray, and drought once established.
What about watering, soil, and general care requirements?
Water regularly until established; afterwards reduce watering as it becomes drought-tolerant. Avoid poor drainage; choose lean or well-drained soils.
What seasons does it flower, and what wildlife does it attract?
It flowers from autumn through spring, and its tubular red flowers attract hummingbirds and other nectar-feeding wildlife.
