Correa pulchella Pink Carpet

Correa pulchella “Pink Carpet”

Description:
Correa pulchella ‘Pink Carpet’ is a charming, low-growing Australian native shrub prized for its soft, carpet-like habit and prolific display of delicate pink, bell-shaped flowers. Blooming from autumn through spring, this hardy evergreen provides months of color and attracts nectar-feeding birds and pollinators to the garden.

Foliage & Form:
This compact groundcover forms a dense mat of small, glossy, mid-green leaves that create an attractive backdrop year-round. Typically growing to about 20–30 cm high and 1–2 m wide, it’s ideal for covering slopes, rockeries, or garden borders.

Flowers:
The tubular, soft pink flowers dangle gracefully along the stems, adding a gentle splash of color during the cooler months when many other plants are resting.

Growing Conditions:

• Position: Full sun to part shade
• Soil: Well-drained soils; tolerates sandy and coastal conditions
• Water: Drought-tolerant once established, but appreciates occasional watering in dry periods
• Frost: Light frost hardy

Uses:
Perfect as a groundcover, in native gardens, coastal landscapes, or container plantings. Works beautifully for mass planting or under trees where it can form a soft, flowering carpet.

Maintenance:
Low-maintenance and reliable. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a neat, dense shape.
