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 but in the Appendix to the Encyclopaedia of Australian Plants authors Rodger Elliot and David Jones note that it is sport from the popular Correa 'Mannii'. It is also ocassionally listed 'Wyns Wonder' (w/o the apostrophe) or as 'Win's Wonder' / 'Wins Wonder'.
This information about Correa 'Wyn's Wonder' displayed is based on research conducted in our library and from reliable online resources. We will also note observations that we have made about it as it grows in the gardens in our nursery and those elsewhere, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others, and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
