Kiwi Hebe™ Matata 200MM

Hebe x andersonii 'Matata'

I am Kiwi Hebe™ Matata. My family originated from New Zealand.

Habit Shrub - Pot or Garden
Plant family Plantaginaceae
I am a small compact Hebe featuring glossy green leaves and blue violet flower spikes from late winter through spring. I attract pollinators including butterflies and bees making me the ideal plant to include in pollinator friendly gardens. Plant me close to your veggie patch to encourage beneficial insects. I am a classy evergreen shrub perfect for pots and other container. I am also very happy planted out in the garden and make a great low bordering hedge to help define your garden spaces. I tolerate frost down to -5C and am drought tolerant once established.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I produce masses of blue violet flowers in spring
My small form makes me a favoured choice for borders, beside paths & feature plantings
Equally happy planted in a pot or the garden I add colour & interest wherever I am grown
