Correa alba - White Correa Tubestock | Native Seedling

Description:
A hardy Australian native shrub known for its dense, rounded growth, attractive silver-green foliage, and delicate white star-shaped flowers. Correa alba produces masses of blooms throughout autumn and winter, providing an important source of nectar for bees, birds, and other pollinators when many other plants are not flowering. Tough, adaptable, and naturally suited to coastal conditions, it is an excellent choice for screening, hedging, native gardens, and erosion control.
