About this product
Hebe pinguifolia 'Pagei' – supplied in a 2-litre container
Plant Highlights: Compact spreading evergreen shrub • Soft blue-grey foliage • Delicate white flowers in summer • Excellent for rock gardens and low-maintenance planting
Overview
Hebe pinguifolia 'Pagei' is a compact, low-growing evergreen shrub prized for its attractive blue-grey foliage and naturally spreading habit. During summer, slender spikes of small white flowers rise above the foliage, adding subtle seasonal colour while attracting pollinating insects.
Its tidy, mounding growth makes it particularly well suited to the front of borders, rock gardens, gravel planting and patio containers. The evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and contrasts beautifully with both flowering perennials and darker-leaved shrubs.

Growing Guide
Plant in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Good drainage is particularly important during winter. Once established, this hebe is relatively drought tolerant, although it benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.
Apply a spring mulch of organic matter to help conserve moisture and maintain healthy growth, taking care not to cover the crown of the plant.
Wildlife
The nectar-rich white flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, making Hebe pinguifolia 'Pagei' a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Pruning
Remove spent flower spikes after flowering and trim lightly if needed to maintain a compact, tidy shape. Avoid cutting back into old, leafless wood, as regeneration can be slow.
