Correa 'Dusky Bells' * Red Australian Fuchsia, Blackwood

I have had good luck with the Australian Fuchsia in the garden. Correa Dusky Bells is susceptible to the oak root fungus.  I keep their summer irrigation a bit spartan and try to grow them on a slope or in well drained soil.  If there are already issues with oak root fungus I don't even bother using Correa Dusky Bells.  They will grow in filtered light but prefer full sun.  Correa Dusky Bells will stay under 2' tall and spread to about 4 feet.
