Correa baeuerlenii (Chef's Cap Correa)

It's easy to see why Correa baeuerlenii is called Chef's Cap Correa with its flattened calyx atop its yellow/green flower having the appearance of a chef's cap!  With its shiny leaves and reddish stems it grows into a small shrub up to 2 metres but can be trimmed to keep it smaller.  It seems to grow best in a well mulched and shaded position. Correa baeuerlenii originates from the Bateman's Bay/Bega areas of NSW.
