Hebe 'Western Hills' 1 Gallon

Hebes are an integral part of Pacific NW gardens, with a vast array of colors, textures, and structures. 'Western Hills' hebe falls into the silvery blue range with small narrow leaves lining dark stems. Hardy down to 0 degrees, this upright evergreen shrub can handle Portland's low temps while also thriving in coastal gardens. 'Western Hills' needs regular watering until established, at which point it is fairly drought-tolerant and works well in xeriscapes and rock gardens. White flowers emerge in late spring through the summer, topping stems that grow three feet tall and wide at maturity. Hebes prefer well-draining soil, and thus may be happier in container planters or hanging baskets if the garden soil is heavy clay. That said, this variety can be used as a low-growing hedge, but dense soil should be well amended before planting.
