Hebe Marie Antoinette

Common Name: Marie Antoinette Hebe

Description:
Hebe ‘Marie Antoinette’ is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its lush green foliage and stunning purple-pink flower spikes that bloom from late spring through autumn. The vibrant blossoms attract bees and butterflies, adding movement and colour to the garden for an extended season. Its naturally dense, rounded growth habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, low hedging, and container planting. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Marie Antoinette’ prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. It is drought and frost tolerant once established, requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
