Add polished evergreen beauty to containers and garden borders with Varnished Hebe. Named for its exceptionally glossy foliage, this compact shrub produces small, dark green leaves that appear almost lacquered. The dense foliage creates a neat, refined look throughout the year, while clusters of white to very pale blue or lilac flowers add delicate color during late spring and summer. The blossoms attract bees and other beneficial pollinators without overwhelming the plant’s attractive evergreen structure. Varnished Hebe is a versatile choice for rock gardens, coastal landscapes, foundation borders, slopes and decorative patio containers. Grow it in full sun or partial shade with average to moderately fertile soil and excellent drainage. It tolerates lean and rocky conditions once established but dislikes consistently wet roots. Protection from harsh, drying winter wind is beneficial in colder areas. Depending on growing conditions, mature plants generally reach 1 to 2 ft. tall and may spread 2 to 3 ft. wide. Plant this 2-pack together for a broader evergreen display or use the plants as balanced accents.
