The hebe family is amazing for the diversity of foliage, color, and size. 'Quicksilver' Hebe is at the silvery blue end of foliage color, with small leaves that contrast dramatically with its black stems and lilac blooms. Because of the airy, open structure, this evergreen works well in container planters, hanging baskets, in borders, and in mass plantings. The summer blooms attract hummingbirds and bees, and charm gardeners as well.
