Hebe Addenda Series

Common name: Hebe

Description: The Hebe Addenda Series brings together a range of exceptionally free-flowering compact hebes bred for outstanding garden performance. Dense, rounded shrubs with small, glossy green leaves produce an abundance of flower spikes in shades of white, pink, purple, and blue from spring through to autumn — months of continuous colour that few shrubs can match. Notably disease-resistant and with a reliable compact habit, the Addenda Series has been selected to withstand challenging UK weather conditions better than many traditional hebe varieties.

Other benefits: exceptionally long flowering season, compact and self-maintaining habit, disease resistant, excellent coastal tolerance, evergreen structure year-round
