Hebe ‘Mette’ – Compact Evergreen with Summer Lilac Flowers
Hebe ‘Mette’ is a neat, evergreen shrub that brings year-round structure and subtle seasonal colour to the garden. Its glossy, dark green leaves form a tidy, compact mound, perfect for borders, patios, or rock gardens. In summer, the plant produces spikes of soft lilac flowers, attracting pollinators and providing a gentle splash of colour.
Evergreen and low-maintenance, ‘Mette’ is hardy and versatile, thriving in sunny or partially shaded positions. Its tidy habit makes it ideal for small spaces, container planting, or mixed shrub borders, providing structure even in winter.
