Hebe Red Edge

Common Name:
Hebe 'Red Edge'

Description:
Hebe 'Red Edge' is a striking, compact evergreen shrub known for its unique silvery-grey foliage with a fine red margin that intensifies in colder months. This low-growing, dense shrub produces delicate pale lilac flowers in spring and summer, which gradually fade to white. Its year-round colour and neat growth make it an excellent choice for borders, low hedging, rockeries, and pots. Hardy and low-maintenance, Hebe 'Red Edge' thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to part shade. It is drought-tolerant once established, can handle coastal conditions, and withstands light frosts, making it a fantastic addition to Melbourne gardens.
