Hebe 'Sutherlandii'

Common name: Hebe 'Sutherlandii'

Description: This elegant evergreen shrub features narrow, grey-green foliage that creates a neat, compact mound of year-round interest. In summer, long spikes of white flowers appear, creating an attractive display against the grey-green leaves. The compact habit and refined appearance make it perfect for containers, front-of-border positions, and coastal gardens. 'Sutherlandii' (also known as 'Toparia') is ideal for adding evergreen structure to mixed borders, providing year-round interest in containers, or creating low hedges. The grey-green foliage provides excellent contrast with darker greens whilst the white flower spikes bring summer colour. This hardy hebe requires minimal maintenance.
