Lovely choice of small to medium sized shrubs. Correa alba (Botany
Bay Tea Tree) is my personal favourite - a smallish shrub to around 4
- 5 feet, with tubular, pendent, waxy, baby's bottom pink flowers in
great profusion.
The hybrid C. x harrissii is a nice shrub to, this time reaching
about 6 - 8 feet and dripping with showy, scarlet flowers.
