Hebe 'Little Leaves Grey'

Common name: Hebe

Description: Hebe 'Little Leaves Grey' is a charming compact evergreen shrub producing a fine-textured, rounded mound of tiny silver-grey leaves that provide a soft, cooling quality in planting schemes. In summer, white flower spikes appear above the foliage, attracting bees and butterflies. Its grey colouring makes it an excellent companion for blue, purple, and white flowering plants, and it is well suited to coastal and Mediterranean-style gardens where drought tolerance is important. Compact, hardy, and virtually maintenance-free.
