Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Striking new Australian fuchsia with wintertime salmon-pink flowers and evergreen leaves variegated olive and golden yellow. Not for the faint of heart, this small shrub, to about 3 x 3 ft, is great for garden contrast or container culture where a long season of winter flowering is desired. Thrives on neglect and even prefers fairly low fertility soil. For full sun to dappled shade. Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 8; withstands temperatures in the upper teens, even mid teens briefly. Can also be moved inside during the coldest weather -- but only briefly as Correas prefer cool winters.
