Hebe Wiri Mist
Hebe Wiri Mist is a standout amongst New Zealand natives, known for its resilience and understated elegance. This compact shrub captivates with its profusion of white flowers, creating a mist-like effect atop the foliage from spring through to summer. The tiny blossoms not only add a touch of beauty but are a magnet for beneficial pollinators, enhancing your garden's ecosystem.
Ideal for borders, low hedging, foundation planting, or container use. Complements native, coastal, cottage, and formal garden styles.
Thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. Tolerates light frost and coastal conditions. Space plants approximately 60 cm apart for a dense, low hedge or informal grouping.
Forms a rounded shrub reaching 60–80 cm tall and wide, maintaining a naturally compact shape.

Trimming: Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushy growth. Regular shaping helps prevent the plant becoming leggy.
Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes to tidy the plant and potentially encourage a second flush of flowers.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, which may reduce flower production.
Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, Wiri Mist is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during extended dry periods.
Pest Control: Generally pest-resistant. Monitor for aphids or scale insects, especially on new growth—treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if needed.
Disease Management: Good air circulation is key to preventing fungal issues such as powdery mildew. Avoid overhead watering and remove any diseased foliage promptly. Ensure well-drained soil to prevent root rot.
