Correa

Correa alba
In the United States: Cultivated

Honeybees forage on Correa alba for nectar and pollen, particularly valuing its winter blooms when other sources are scarce. Peak bloom in the northern hemisphere falls from late fall to early spring, offering consistent support during dearth periods. The shrub is coastal-adapted and drought-tolerant but benefits from frost protection in marginal zones and is not known to be invasive.
