blue hebe shrub
If you’re searching for an easy-care plant that delights with vibrant colour and year-round structure, the blue hebe shrub is a fantastic choice for New Zealand gardens. Blue hebes are small, hardy evergreens valued for their compact growth, lush green foliage, and clusters of blue to violet blooms that last for months. Equally at home in coastal settings, urban gardens, and rural landscapes, these shrubs are a favourite with gardeners wanting reliable colour and low-maintenance beauty.
Hebe Margret
Hebe Margret bears clusters of lilac-blue flowers that fade to white with age. These are held above the dense, dark green leaves, and affords a lovely contrast. This NZ native grows as a bushy, evergreen shrub to about 40 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. Hebe Margret is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, maintained in a container, included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools, or mass planted either on a bank or as a ground cover plant for an effective display.
