Hebe topiaria – Naturally Neat Evergreen for Formal Structure

Hebe topiaria is a wonderfully tidy, evergreen shrub valued for its naturally rounded, dome-shaped habit that looks lightly clipped even without pruning. With its small, grey-green leaves packed densely along short stems, it brings calm structure and a refined, architectural feel to borders, containers, and formal planting schemes.

Unlike many flowering Hebes, this variety is grown primarily for its foliage and shape, making it a reliable, all-year structural plant. Its compact size and slow, even growth make it ideal for repeating through a border to create rhythm, or for use as a low hedge where a clean, contemporary look is desired.

Hardy, adaptable, and extremely low maintenance, Hebe topiaria thrives in full sun or light shade and prefers free-draining soil. It copes well with coastal conditions, light drought once established, and regular trimming if a sharper outline is preferred. In containers, it offers a smart, evergreen presence throughout the year.

Simple, elegant, and dependable, Hebe topiaria is a superb choice for gardeners looking to add year-round form and structure with minimal effort.
