White-flowered Rock Correa Plant Care

White-flowered Rock Correa (Correa glabra var. leucoclada) belongs to the Rutaceae family within the Correa genus. White-flowered Rock Correa is also known as Rock Correa.

White-flowered Rock Correa displays a compact shrub growth habit, reaching up to 3 ft tall with a spread of approximately 3 ft. White-flowered Rock Correa produces bell-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, or orange.

Leaf size: approximately 3 inches.

Water a young or newly planted White-flowered Rock Correa every 7–14 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established shrubs mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

White-flowered Rock Correa thrives in partial shade to full sun.

Correa glabra var. leucoclada tolerates temperatures of 50–80°F. White-flowered Rock Correa prefers humidity levels of 40–70%.

Well-draining sandy soil mix with added organic matter. Good drainage is essential for White-flowered Rock Correa to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed White-flowered Rock Correa every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the rate on the label. Established shrubs in good soil often need little extra feeding, so let weak growth or pale foliage guide you.

Stop feeding by late summer so new growth can harden before winter.

Choose a spot with partial shade to full sun and well-draining sandy soil mix with added organic matter. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

White-flowered Rock Correa is suited to USDA Zone 12a.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped shrubs in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

White-flowered Rock Correa can spread to about 3 ft (0.9 m) and reach about 3 ft (1 m) tall. Space plants about 3 ft (0.9 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune White-flowered Rock Correa while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the shrub in one year.

White-flowered Rock Correa is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 12). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

White-flowered Rock Correa can be propagated through softwood cuttings, seeds. Similar propagation techniques also apply to native fuchsia plant care, which shares the same genus.
