Common Name:
Parahebe 'Baby Blue'
Description:
Parahebe 'Baby Blue' is a compact, low-growing perennial shrublet valued for its dainty blue-mauve flowers and neat, spreading habit. It forms a soft mound of small green foliage, with delicate blooms appearing mainly through the warmer months and often continuing in mild conditions. Well suited to Melbourne gardens, it performs best in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and moderate watering. Its compact size makes it ideal for rockeries, borders, cottage gardens, edging, and containers, where it brings gentle colour and fine texture without overwhelming nearby plants.
