Hebe Emerald Green is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its neat, rounded form and dense, finely textured green foliage. This low-growing variety maintains a tidy shape without pruning, making it ideal for structured planting. While primarily grown for its foliage, it may occasionally produce small white to pale lilac flowers in summer, adding subtle seasonal interest.

Perfect for low hedging, borders, or as a clipped feature in formal gardens, Hebe Emerald Green also works well in coastal, rock, or minimalist designs. Its tidy growth habit makes it especially suited to container planting and narrow garden beds.

Prefers full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. Tolerant of dry periods once established. Space plants around 40 cm apart for a dense, low hedge or shape-defining border.

Mature size: Forms a dense, dome-shaped shrub approximately 40 cm high and 60 cm wide.

Trimming: Lightly trim in late spring or after flowering to maintain its dense, compact shape. Regular shaping is especially beneficial when grown as a low hedge or edging plant.

Deadheading: Not required, as this cultivar is primarily grown for its foliage rather than its flowers.

Fertilising: Feed annually in early spring with a general-purpose slow-release fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and during extended dry periods, particularly in warmer months. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant.

Pest Control: Generally pest-resistant, though keep an eye out for aphids or scale insects. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil.

Disease Management: Watch for signs of root rot, especially in poorly drained soils. Ensure good drainage and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal issues.
