Hebe ‘Coed’
Coed Hebe is a reliable, compact evergreen shrub valued for its neat foliage and long-lasting summer flowers. It forms a dense, rounded mound of small, glossy, apple-green leaves that are closely set on reddish stems. From summer into fall, it produces upright spikes of lavender-purple flowers at the branch tips. This tough, low-maintenance plant is perfect for adding structure and late-season color to borders, low hedges, coastal gardens, or containers.
