Correa reflexa x alba 'Lemon Twist' - Native Fuchsia

Native Fuchsia (Correa reflexa x alba 'Lemon Twist') is a charming, compact Australian native that earns its place in any garden with a cascade of delicate lemon-yellow bell-shaped flowers set against tough, shiny foliage. Flowering through autumn and winter when little else is blooming, it's a lifeline for nectar-eating birds during the cooler months — and a delight to watch from the window on a cold Ballarat morning.

Incredibly versatile, 'Lemon Twist' works beautifully as a feature plant, a low border, or even a neat informal hedge — it responds well to regular pruning. Trim at the end of winter once flowering finishes. Feed with a native-specific low-phosphorus fertiliser in early spring and water in well to avoid foliage burn.
