Hebe CHOCOLATE BOX™ ‘Candy Cream’

Common Name:
Hebe CHOCOLATE BOX™ ‘Candy Cream’

Description:
Hebe CHOCOLATE BOX™ ‘Candy Cream’ is a compact and colourful evergreen shrub offering year-round interest through its vibrant foliage and creamy-white flower spikes. Part of the CHOCOLATE BOX™ series, this variety features small, glossy green leaves flushed with burgundy—especially pronounced in cooler weather—creating a rich, textured backdrop for its seasonal blooms. In late spring and early summer, 'Candy Cream' produces upright flower spikes of soft cream to pale lemon, contrasting beautifully against the dark foliage. It thrives in Melbourne’s temperate climate and performs well in both full sun and part shade, preferring well-drained soil and regular watering through dry periods. Its tidy, naturally rounded growth habit makes it ideal for borders, low hedging, rockeries, and container displays. It’s also a bee-friendly plant, helping support pollinators in urban and suburban gardens.
