Hebe Lavender Lace

Common Name:

Hebe 'Lavender Lace'

Description:

Hebe 'Lavender Lace' is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its masses of delicate lavender-purple flowers and attractive, fine-textured green foliage. This stunning variety produces an abundance of dainty flower spikes that create a soft, lacy appearance, making it a beautiful addition to garden beds, borders and decorative pots. Its exceptionally prolific flowering habit provides a spectacular display throughout spring and summer, with occasional additional blooms during autumn under favourable conditions.

Growing approximately 60 cm tall and 80 cm wide, Hebe 'Lavender Lace' forms a naturally rounded, bushy habit that requires minimal maintenance. It thrives in Melbourne's temperate climate, preferring full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates short periods of dryness, although regular watering during extended hot weather will encourage healthy growth and flowering. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Ideal for mass planting, low borders, rockeries and container displays, this charming shrub provides year-round greenery and seasonal colour.
