Why Choose Hebe salicifolia (Koromiko)?

Hebe salicifolia is an evergreen shrub that grows quickly and reliably, reaching up to 2 metres tall. Its dense, arching stems are packed with elongated green leaves, creating a graceful backdrop for masses of clustered white or pale purple flowers from summer to autumn. Koromiko is tolerant of coastal conditions, wind, and mild frosts, making it a robust addition to exposed sites, mixed native plantings, or as a low-maintenance hedge. This adaptable species is also known for supporting native wildlife like bees and butterflies, boosting the biodiversity in your backyard.

Growing Conditions and Care

Hebe salicifolia thrives in full sun to partial shade and does best in well-drained soils. It suits a range of garden settings—including informal hedges, shrubby borders, and revegetation projects. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant and won’t need regular watering. We recommend pruning Hebe salicifolia after flowering to keep it looking tidy and to encourage dense, healthy growth. Mulching around the base locks in moisture and suppresses weeds, while an occasional light feed in spring keeps the plant vigorous.

Explore Our Range of Hebes

While Hebe salicifolia stands out for its resilience and native charm, our nursery also offers a range of other Hebe varieties with unique colours and forms. Enhance your garden’s diversity by trying related options such as Hebe odora for its compact habit and fragrant blooms, eye-catching Hebe Margret, or the variegated foliage of Hebe Sandra Joy. For those seeking striking colour, Hebe Flame and Hebe First Light each bring something special to borders or pots.

Companion Planting Ideas

For a truly vibrant garden, consider pairing Hebe salicifolia with other easy-care shrubs. Native and exotic companions like Jovellana violacea, Callistemon 'Western Glory' (Bottlebrush), and Leptospermum 'Merinda' will add texture and year-round interest. For pollinator-friendly borders, combine with Lavender 'Hidcote Blue' or inject even more flower power by including Hibiscus 'Ruby'.
