Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:

• In spring, 'Stefanie' begins the season with fresh, green foliage, forming a tidy mound that provides structure and contrast to other plants.
• The plant maintains its compact form, readying itself for the summer bloom.

Summer:

• As the summer progresses, 'Stefanie' remains lush with its bright green foliage, setting the stage for its spectacular autumn display.
• It thrives in sunny spots, where it continues to grow steadily without needing much attention.

Autumn:

• The plant comes alive with a profusion of pure white flowers, which blanket the shrub from late summer to early autumn, adding a splash of vibrant colour to the garden.
• These blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

Winter:

• The evergreen foliage persists through the winter months, retaining its green appearance and providing structure to the garden during colder weather.
• The dried flowers offer subtle winter interest, adding texture to the garden when many other plants are dormant.

Structure & Form

• Height & Spread: Typically grows to a height of 30–40cm, with a spread of around 45–60cm, making it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, and borders.
• Form: 'Stefanie' has a compact, mounding shape, with needle-like green foliage that transitions to a lovely purple hue when in bloom.
• Growth Habit: A slow-growing shrub that maintains a neat, dense shape throughout the year. Minimal pruning is needed, although light trimming after flowering can help keep its rounded form.

Perfect for Various Landscapes

• Rock Gardens & Alpine Beds: Due to its small size and vibrant flowers, 'Stefanie' is perfect for rock gardens or alpine beds, providing a burst of colour without taking up too much space.
• Borders & Edges: Use it to line borders or add texture to garden edges, where its compact habit and colourful flowers will stand out.
• Wildlife Gardens: 'Stefanie' is great for attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
• Containers & Patios: Its compact size and beauty make 'Stefanie' a great option for containers, bringing colour and interest to patios, balconies, or smaller spaces.

Growing Conditions & Care

• Position: Prefers full sun or partial shade. In sunnier spots, the blooms will be more abundant, while partial shade may lead to a slightly less vibrant flowering.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, acidic soil, and can tolerate sandy or peaty soil types. Avoid heavy, water-retentive soils, which can cause root rot.
• Maintenance: 'Stefanie' is low-maintenance and relatively drought-tolerant once established. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its compact, rounded form. Regular watering is beneficial during dry periods, particularly in the summer.
