Parahebe lyalli White

Parahebe lyallii White is a charming NZ native evergreen perennial that produces a profusion of pure white flowers from late spring to summer. The small, daisy-like flowers have a delicate appearance and are complemented by glossy, dark green leaves. This compact, low-growing plant is perfect for adding a splash of colour to rock gardens, borders, and containers, where its cheerful blooms can be fully appreciated.

White Parahebe thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is adaptable to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils, and is particularly well-suited to coastal gardens. This hardy plant is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for a variety of garden settings. Regular watering during the establishment phase promotes strong root growth, and light pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourage further blooms. Space plants about 30 cm apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

At maturity, Parahebe lyallii White reaches a height of approximately 30-40 cm and a spread of about 40-50 cm, forming a dense, bushy mound. Its vibrant flowers attract pollinators, adding ecological value to the garden. This versatile and resilient plant is ideal for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance perennial that offers long-lasting beauty and interest.
