Information Guide |
Coral Chimes is one of the many selected seedlings from the Correa Chimes Range. This compact evergreen native shrub maintains a dense habit, and produces dainty coral bell shaped flowers from autumn to late winter. Coral Chimes is useful for rockery plantings, or can be planted in areas where low level plantings are required in large landscape sites or for small garden beds. This plant produces colour and nectar over the cooler months for pollinators. It can be mix planted with similar varieties such as Dusky Bells, and Little Cate and this is to add slight variations in the landscape. |

Soil PH Conditions | Soil pH: 6.4 to 7.5 - Soil preparation: Soil can range from quite acid to alkaline in pH levels, it is important to have good soil preparation to gain the best results when planting natives. This improves the water-holding capacity of the soil and for young plants, once established, will have lower water requirements. |
Water Recommendations | Grows well in both shade and full sun. It is adaptable to most well drained soils and is a versatile plant. Once this plant is established it will tolerate dry and light frost conditions, but over long periods of dry will require watering. |
Fertiliser Recommendations | This plant requires little maintenance and it is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help first establish the plant. It is beneficial to follow up with the occasional reapplication of fertiliser and apply as required. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. |
