Why Choose Hebe ‘Heart Breaker’?

1. Bold Variegated Foliage

Naturally forming a neat, rounded shrub, it reaches around 40–60cm in height and spread, providing evergreen structure with minimal maintenance.

3. Pollinator-Friendly Blooms
From mid to late summer, short spikes of delicate mauve-pink flowers appear, drawing in bees and beneficial insects to the garden.

4. Low Maintenance & Hardy
Thrives in most well-drained soils and withstands the majority of UK conditions, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking easy, reliable interest throughout the seasons.

5. Versatile and Stylish
Perfect for containers, edging pathways, or brightening borders, this hebe also performs beautifully in contemporary and coastal designs.
