Description
"Coastal Pink™", a cultivar of the Native Fuchsia (Correa alba), enchants garden enthusiasts with its soft, light pink blossoms. As a medium-sized shrub, its blooms peak from Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (early spring), adding a delicate splash of colour during these cooler seasons.
Ideal for both pot and in-ground planting, those choosing the latter in sandy or inferior soils will benefit from mixing in a quality soil conditioner. Positioning "Coastal Pink™" in a location with full to partial sunlight is preferred. For peak vibrancy and health, nourish with a native plant fertiliser during its flowering months of Djeran (Autumn) and Djilba (early spring).
