Hebe Pearl of Paradise 2 litre

Bright evergreen leaves and a haze of soft, pearly purple flowers from early spring, so it gets the season going early. Bees and butterflies follow. It’s neat and compact for the front of a border or a pot, and it will flower again if you trim it.

Good to know: 70 x 60cm. Full sun or part shade, well-drained soil; avoid deep shade or it gets leggy. Hardy, but give it some shelter in a long, hard frost. Trim lightly after flowering.
