Correa pulchella 'Pink Mist'
This cultivar is a compact shrub to 0.75m tall by 1m wide. The
leaves are grey green in colour but paler beneath. They are elliptical in
shape and vary considerably in size, the larger leaves reaching 20mm long
by 13mm across. The flowers are tubular, mid-pink in colour and 25mm long
by 10mm diameter. The main flowering season is from May to July.
Diagnosis:
Correa 'Pink Mist' differs from the more usual form of C.
pulchella by its very pale pink flower colour. It could possibly be
confused with Correa 'Dusky Bells' (C. pulchella x C. reflexa). Correa '
Dusky Bells' has carmine pink flowers which are more concealed by the
foliage than in C. 'Pink Mist'.
Correa glabra var. glabra 'Inglewood Gold'
This cultivar grows to 1m tall by 1m wide. The flower colour
is gold and the flowering season is from December to April. The flowers are
30mm long by 7mm wide.
Diagnosis:
The distinguishing feature of this cultivar is the gold colour
of the flowers.
Correa glabra var. glabra 'Coliban River'
This cultivar forms a small dense shrub to 1.2 x 1.2 m. All
other features are as for the species. The flowers are pale green and borne
in May to August.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar was selected for its small dense habit. The usual
form of the species is normally upright to spreading and 2-3m tall.
Correa 'Candy Pink'
Correa 'Candy Pink' grows into a dense, rounded shrub to 1m
tall by 1m wide. The leaves are ovate to elliptical in shape, appear
glabrous above but actually have a sparse covering of short stellate hairs,
and are densely hairy below. The new growth is also coated with rusty brown
stellate hairs. The flowers are very similar in shape and size to C. alba,
and the corolla is split the same as in C. alba. The corolla colour is a
dull pink in colour.
Diagnosis:
The flowers of Correa 'Candy Pink' immediately show that C. alba
is one of the parents. The leaves are more elliptical and therefore unlike
the oval leaves of C. alba. The flower colour is similar to but lighter
than Correa 'Dusky Bells' which is a cross between C. reflexa and C.
pulchella. It is difficult to determine this however and therefore further
comparison is not undertaken.
Correa alba 'Western Pink Star'
Correa 'Western Pink Star' grows from 150 mm to 1m high as a
semi-ascendent mounding plant. It flowers over a long period with its main
flowering in April, May and June. The flowers are pink, fading as they age.
The foliage is dense with a rusty appearance due to the dense hair
covering.
Diagnosis:
The distinguishing features of this cultivar is the bright pink
flowers which differ from the typical white to pale pink. It has proved to
be frost and drought hardy in cultivation.
Correa reflexa var. speciosa 'Glenelg River Red'
Low-growing shrub to c. 25 cm x 1.8 m with a dense habit.
Branchlets sparsely tomentose with minute tan-coloured stellate hairs
becoming brown and glabrous with age w4th occasional short stellate hairs.
Simple cordate leaves, 18 mm x 10 mm, shortly petiolate. Leaf apices
obtuse, leaf bases cordate, venation reticulate, margins entire, slightly
undulate. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and scabridulous.
Upper surfaces of young leaves dark green, slightly scabridulous with
occasional tan-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces pale-green, sparsely
tomentose with tan coloured stellate hairs. Calyces hemispherical, 4 mm
high, tomentose with tan-coloured stellate hairs and shortly mucronate.
Corolla obconical 30 mm x 10 mm, bright red with yellow-green tips. Anthers
exerted, narrow oblong and obtuse. Peak flowering is from March to July in
most districts.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar conforms generally to descriptions for C. reflexa
var. speciosa by Wilson (1998). Wilson suggests that this variant from far
south-east SA is intermediate in morphology between C. reflexa var.
scabridula and the south-west Victorian variant of C. reflexa var. reflexa.
It is similar to C. 'Raelene Goldie' in flower colour but differs in leaf
size (27 mm x 16 mm) and flower size (33 mm x 9 mm). It varies in flower
colour from other C. reflexa var. reflexa cultivars, such as C. Dawn Glow',
C. Granny's Grave', C. 'Icicle' and C. 'Narrow Neil'.
