Create Lasting Structure with Hebe New Zealand

Compact, evergreen, and beautifully structured, these hardy Hebe shrubs deliver year-round foliage interest with elegant seasonal flowers, making them a reliable choice for modern gardens, containers, and low hedging. Each plant has been carefully selected for its tidy growth habit and distinctive foliage, which can range from glossy emerald green and soft grey to attractively variegated forms that develop subtle bronze tones in cooler weather.

From late spring into summer, slender flower spikes rise gracefully above the foliage in shades of white, lilac, pink, or soft purple. These blooms add light seasonal colour without disrupting the plants clean, architectural structure.
