Description
Hebe is a genus of evergreen shrubs native to New Zealand, and widely popular for their attractive foliage and showy flowers. They come in a range of sizes, from dwarf varieties to larger shrubs, and their leaves vary in color from deep green to variegated shades of silver and gold. In summer, Hebes produce spiky clusters of flowers in shades of white, pink, purple, and blue, which attract bees and butterflies to the garden. Hebes are versatile plants that can be used in a variety of garden styles, from modern to cottage gardens, and they make great additions to mixed borders or as standalone specimens. They are generally low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil types and conditions, but do best in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It's important to note that some Hebes can be tender and may require protection in colder climates.
