Hebe 'Winter Wonder' is a delightful evergreen shrub that captivates with its stunning variegated leaves and year-round charm. The narrow green foliage, adorned with creamy-white edges, takes on a lovely pink hue during the colder months, adding a vibrant touch to winter gardens. Its compact, rounded form makes it an excellent choice for pots, borders, or coastal landscapes, where it thrives with minimal care.
Standing at a height and spread of 60cm (24in), this low-growing beauty is perfect for creating structure in garden designs. While it produces pale lilac to mauve flowers in summer, its primary allure lies in its striking foliage, which remains evergreen in the UK. Hebe 'Winter Wonder' flourishes in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various well-drained soil types, requiring only light to moderate watering once established.
This hardy plant is particularly suited for coastal gardens, as it withstands wind and salt, making it ideal for exposed locations. It also pairs beautifully with other winter-interest plants, such as Euonymus, Heuchera, or Carex, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your garden. Whether used for seasonal pots, as an edging plant, or to provide evergreen structure, Hebe 'Winter Wonder' is a sophisticated addition that brings elegance and color throughout the year.
Grow Hebe plants in moist, well drained, light sandy soil. Avoid planting Hebes on acid soils. Choose a position in full sun or semi shade and sheltered from strong winds.
