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'.  Information displayed on this page about  Correa 'Wyn's Wonder' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
