5L nursery pot • Supplied approximately 23cm tall • Approximate spread 45cm

Plant Highlights: Colourful evergreen foliage • Pink-flushed new growth • Compact rounded habit • Ideal for borders and containers • Year-round garden interest

Overview

Hebe 'Queen Kiwi Quattro' is a compact evergreen shrub grown primarily for its vibrant variegated foliage. Small glossy leaves display attractive shades of green and creamy yellow, while fresh growth emerges with soft pink tones, creating a colourful display throughout much of the growing season. Its naturally neat, rounded habit makes it an excellent choice for adding reliable year-round structure to gardens of all sizes.

Compact enough for patio containers yet equally effective in mixed borders, this versatile Hebe brings long-lasting foliage interest with minimal maintenance. During summer, short spikes of pale flowers may appear above the foliage, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinating insects.

Why We Love It

• Colourful variegated foliage provides year-round interest.
• Fresh pink new growth adds seasonal contrast.
• Naturally compact habit requires very little pruning.
• Excellent for borders, patios and decorative containers.
• Evergreen structure enhances planting schemes in every season.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Plant in full sun or partial shade. A sheltered position encourages the best foliage colour while protecting the evergreen leaves from cold, drying winds.

Watering

Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a healthy root system. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently during warm weather.

Soil

Grow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Good drainage is particularly important during winter.

Hardiness and Winter Care

Suitable for most Irish gardens in a sheltered position. Avoid prolonged winter waterlogging, and provide some protection for container-grown plants during extended periods of severe frost.

Routine Care

Lightly trim after flowering or in late spring to maintain a neat, rounded shape. Remove any dead or damaged shoots as required. Avoid cutting back into old woody stems.

Perfect For

• Mixed evergreen borders.
• Patio pots and decorative containers.
• Coastal gardens in sheltered locations.
• Contemporary planting schemes.
• Providing year-round foliage colour and structure.

Good to Know

'Queen Kiwi Quattro' is grown primarily for its colourful evergreen foliage rather than its flowers. The pink colouring is most vibrant on fresh new growth and naturally softens as the leaves mature.
