Hebe Icing Sugar 140MM

Hebe Icing Sugar

I am Hebe Icing Sugar. My family originated from New Zealand.

Habit Shrub - Long flowering window
Plant family Plantaginaceae
I am a rounded compact shrub with bright green leaves and a profusion of dark pink blooms that fade to white as they open and age down the flower spike throughout summer. Hardy I am disease resistant and tolerate dry conditions and frost once established. I am a great plant for borders, in rockeries and general landscape planting. Very happy in a pot I am a great way to brighten up court yards and paved areas. Planted in a row I make an excellent low hedge. Low maintenance I am equally at home in formal and informal gardens.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I produce clusters of pink and white flowers from spring though summer
I am ideal in borders, mass planted and a good choice for pots and other containers
Hardy I am well suited to coastal planting, exposed locations and windy areas
