Correa ‘Lime Chimes’ is a compact, low-growing form, prized for its neat habit and delicate, lime-green bell-shaped flowers that bloom from autumn to early spring. Typically growing to around 30–50 cm high and up to 1 meter wide, this cultivar provides a soft, mounding effect perfect for foreground planting, containers, or native rockeries. The small, oval, grey-green leaves add fine texture and contrast year-round.

Well-suited to dry shade, Lime Chimes is highly adaptable and thrives in a range of garden styles, from native plantings to formal borders. It’s also a valuable habitat plant, attracting small birds such as honeyeaters during its flowering season.
