Hebe ‘Caledonia’ Description

Hebe ‘Caledonia’ forms a dense, rounded evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves, dark red young stems and fresh growth often flushed with purple. Abundant spikes of purple-blue flowers appear during summer and provide nectar for bees and other insects. Mature plants generally reach around 60 to 75cm high and wide, fitting easily into mixed borders, gravel gardens and patio containers. Grow in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile soil that remains moist but drains freely. It tolerates coastal conditions and is hardier than many large-leaved hebes, although shelter from severe frost and cold wind is still beneficial. Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact habit and remove damaged growth, avoiding severe pruning into old bare branches.
