Hebe Diosmifolia (10 Litre)

Product Description Hebe diosmifolia is a neat, finely textured evergreen ornamental shrub celebrated for its naturally compact, rounded growth habit and abundant flowering display. Clothed in tiny, deep green, lance-shaped leaves arranged in close opposite pairs—resembling the fine foliage of a diosma or boxwood—it forms a dense, immaculate structural mound. In late spring and early summer, the entire shrub is smothered in charming corymb-like terminal clusters of pale lavender-mauve to soft violet buds that open to crisp white blossoms.

Supplied mature and well-established in an advanced 10-litre container, this specimen offers instant landscape structure and volume. Its dense, tidy architecture requires minimal pruning to keep in shape, making it an exceptional choice for formal or informal low garden hedges, neat pathway borders, foundation plantings, and large decorative patio planters.

Care & Maintenance

Light: Position in full sun for tightest foliage growth and maximum bloom coverage. Will tolerate light partial shade.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week while establishing. Once settled, it requires only occasional deep watering during extended dry periods. Ensure soil drains freely to prevent root issues.
Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release organic fertiliser or a top-dressing of well-rotted compost around the drip-line in spring.
Grooming: Prune or tip-trim lightly immediately after flowering finishes to maintain a tight, compact shape and encourage fresh flowering wood for the next season.
