Description
The "Lime Chimes" cultivar of Native Fuchsia (a Correa glabra hybrid) boasts very light green blossoms, bringing a serene touch to gardens from Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (Early Spring). As a small shrub, it adds depth and subtle colour contrasts, ideal for varied garden landscapes.
Suited for both pots and in-ground planting, "Lime Chimes" prefers sunny spots. If opting for in-ground planting, especially in sandy soils, consider enriching with a good soil conditioner. To support its gentle flowering display, provide a dose of native plant fertiliser during Djeran (Autumn) and Djilba (Early Spring).
