Hebe ‘Emerald Gem’

I think this is the coolest little shrub in town, yes, a die-hard flower floozette like me! Slow growing to 18" x 24", you get a perfectly rounded form of densest, conifer-like, evergreen foliage. And, like suspended animation, it maintains this flawless shape – without pruning – for 3 or more years. Its great texture and emerald color make it a great choice for any garden, in groups as edging and as a foil (visual contrast) for your bright bloomers. Carefree and tolerant of only occasional water (once established), just provide well-drained soil and an annual dose of compost to maintain that glorious color. Deer resistant!
