Description
The "Lemon Twist" cultivar of Native Fuchsia (Correa reflexa x alba) showcases delicate light yellow-green blossoms from Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (Early Spring). As a groundcover, it's a perfect choice for gardeners desiring vibrant underplanting that remains low-growing.
Whether in pots or directly in the ground, "Lemon Twist" flourishes under sunny conditions. For in-ground planting, especially in sandy soils, incorporating a high-quality soil conditioner will prove beneficial. To maintain its vivacious flowering, feed it with a native plant fertiliser during Djeran (Autumn) and Djilba (Early Spring).
