Correa 'Wyn's Wonder' (Variegated Australian Fuchsia) - This dense growing evergreen shrub grows to 2-3 feet tall by 3-5 feet wide and has very attractive olive green leaves that have strong creamy colored margins. In the fall appear the one inch long rose-pink flowers that flare out at the tips to display their soft pink interior. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well drained soil. Irrigate regularly to only occasionally. A great plant for the border or large container. We do not know the origin of this plant and would appreciate anyone knowing more about it to contact us. It is also ocassionally listed 'Wyns Wonder' (w/o the apostrophe) or as 'Win's Wonder' / 'Wins Wonder'.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.
