Variegata Hebe
Hebe andersonii ‘Variegata’
Variegata Hebe is a striking, ornamental shrub grown primarily for its elegant, cream-edged foliage. Its small, rounded leaves are a deep glossy green with a distinct creamy-white margin, creating a bright, luminous effect. In summer, it produces short spikes of pale lilac flowers that complement the foliage. Its compact, mounded form and year-round variegated leaves make it an excellent choice for lightening up borders, foundation plantings, or containers in partial sun.
