Hebe ‘Baby Marie’

As the name suggests, Hebe ‘Baby Marie’ is a neat, dwarf variety. Tiny, dark, green leaves cloak its branches, creating a low spreading mound. Flowers begin to appear as early as April, opening pale lilac and gradually fading to white by mid-summer. This compact evergreen makes an excellent choice for a rockery or the front of a sunny border. It makes a fine container plant too, attracting pollinating insects to its many blooms. Height and spread: 40cm (16″). Grow Hebe plants in moist, well drained, light sandy soil. Avoid planting Hebes on acid soils. Choose a position in full sun or semi shade and sheltered from strong winds.
