One of the best textured hebes, with excellent cupped foliage that gives you a bit of psychedelic vision when viewed from above. Beautiful blue grey foliage is stunning year round and also provides an excellent back drop for the purple flowers in late spring. Stays relatively compact and clean unless grown in deep shade.

A lovely, reliable and very cold hardy Hebe, Blue Mist has proven itself for many years in the Pacific Northwest. Growing slightly wider than it is tall, it creates a nice low shrub that boasts pale blue flowers in late summer through fall. Very nice foliage texture and an easy plant for sun to part shade.

A lovely, cold hardy and very silvery hebe, Boughton Silver is a small mounding evergreen shrub that delights all year round. Dainty white flowers appear in late spring and match the silvery geometric foliage perfectly. Provide well draining soil and a few deep waterings throughout the summer.

Looks amazing planted next to Phlomis!

A fantastic and cold hardy hebe for the dry garden! Western Hills Hebe grows to about 3′ x 3′ and has the most beautiful silvery blue foliage held on black stems. White summer flowers look lovely against the silvery blue foliage. Regular summer water speeds growth and then low watering when established. Full sun to light shade for this beauty.
