Hebe ‘Blue Gem’ is a striking shrub that serves as an excellent specimen plant in the garden. Its vibrant violet flowers bloom in mid-summer, rising above the dark green, evergreen foliage. The dense leaves provide a beautiful backdrop for other summer perennials, even when not in bloom. This hardy, low-maintenance Hebe thrives with little care, making it perfect for coastal gardens and wildlife areas, where its nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies and pollinating insects. Height and spread: 120cm (48″). 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.
