Hebe Midsummer Beauty 2 Litre Pot

Hebe 'Midsummer Beauty' – Long-Flowering Evergreen Hebe

Hebe 'Midsummer Beauty' is a handsome evergreen shrub celebrated for its exceptionally long flowering season, producing elegant, tapering spikes of lavender-purple blooms from midsummer well into autumn. The arching stems carry fresh green leaves with attractive reddish-purple undersides, adding subtle colour interest to the foliage throughout the year. Vigorous yet graceful in habit, it makes a rewarding choice for borders, coastal gardens and larger containers.
