Correa
Federation Belle: Is a hybrid Correa that was selected by the
Mole Station Native Nursery near Tenterfield, NSW. “Federation Belle” was
released in 2001 to commemorate the Centenary of Federation of the Australian
States.
Correa Federation Belle develops into a shrub reaching a height of 1.5
metres. The large, rounded, bell-shaped flowers are bright pink with
creamy-yellow tips. Flowering is profuse from summer to winter. Honeyeaters
are attracted to the nectar-rich blooms. The parents are said to be a form of Correa
reflexa and Correa Marion’s Marvel.
“Federation Belle” is frost tolerant, prefers well-drained soil, will grow
in full sun or partial shade and may be grown in containers.
This is a very impressive addition to the world of Correas. Regular pruning
will keep the plant bushy and blooming bounteously.
