Correa ‘Pink Pixie’

I continue to find lots of treasures in the Nursery. Three more Correas.
I found more Correa ‘Pink Pixie’ under the name Correa alba x pulchella. It is definitely the same plant when the flowers and leaves are compared. I should have enough to create a nice hedge. They grow to about 120-140cm tall by about the same width.

The loss of the plant in my friend’s garden is quite significant. When you consider that it took five years to get to that size, the space that will be left will be quite large. This is a problem often faced by people who lose a plant of considerable age. The ‘financial’ value of replacing with an equivalent sized plant, if it was possible, would be extraordinary.
