📌 Product Description

Variegated Hebe, commonly known as Shrubby Hebe or Evergreen Veronica, is a compact, evergreen ornamental shrub admired for its attractive green leaves edged in creamy white or pale yellow. The striking foliage provides year-round colour and contrast, even when the plant is not in bloom.

During spring and summer, it produces delicate spikes of soft lilac, pink, or white flowers, adding seasonal interest to its already decorative foliage. Its neat, rounded growth habit makes it perfect for borders, low hedges, containers, and coastal gardens in South Africa.
