Hebe CHOCOLATE BOX™ ‘Blueberry Truffle’

Common Name:
Hebe ‘Chocolate Box™ Blueberry Truffle’

Description:
Hebe ‘Chocolate Box™ Blueberry Truffle’ is a striking evergreen shrub from the popular CHOCOLATE BOX™ series, prized for its glossy jet-black to deep purple foliage that adds year-round drama to garden landscapes and containers. The foliage deepens in tone during cooler months, creating a rich contrast in garden beds. With a naturally compact, rounded habit, it’s ideal for modern low hedges, mass plantings, or as a statement in decorative pots. From spring through to autumn, this variety produces long-lasting sprays of soft pink flowers that attract pollinators and provide ongoing seasonal interest. Hardy and adaptable, it performs well in Melbourne’s climate, thriving in well-drained soils and sunny positions. Once established, it shows good tolerance to drought and wind, and benefits from protection from extreme heat or frost.
