Correa rosea 'Marian's Marvel'

One of my favourite winter flowers .sits right by my front door in the teeth of the gales and never fails to please me

Lovely 😊

I like that. How big does it grow Trudi @seasidegirl 😊😊

@pelly about 5 ft but it is easy to trim it in august so it doesn't swamp everything . So many varieties alba is one of my favourites along with dusky bells

Lovely bells - love the Alba too

So pretty Trudi @seasidegirl but would it grown in my heavy West Sussex clay? 🤔

@jacaranda live on heavy sussex clay .i have taken steps to make the soil more friable and a little more neutral . As house was built on old farmland so the soil was limed to break it up . Repeat dressings of grit and compost twice a year freed up the soil enough to grow this easily . As it does not get pests and diseases its a winner

Thanks for the advice Trudi @seasidegirl I'd love to give this plant a try so I'll be on the lookout for one soon 😘

@jacaranda if you take a trip to cookscroft on his open day john williams has a lovely nursery with many different types . His garden is fab

Thanks Trudi @seasidegirl I've been to John's garden a few times so I'll definitely visit again this year and look out for a Correa or two 😘
