Hebe 'Champagne Ice' (2-Litre Pot)

Hebe 'Champagne Ice' is a compact, bushy evergreen shrub with small green leaves that are tinted copper in cold weather. It will also produce spikes of pale lilac to white flowers that appear from June to August.

Expect it to reach its mature height and spread of 60cm in approximately 5 to 10 years making it perfect for creating an informal cottage garden boundary. Its delicate white and lilac flowers make it an excellent addition to any white or grey border needing a hint of colour. It can also be planted in pots and clipped into mounded shapes.

Look for a position of full sun or partial shade with soil that is moist but well drained. Watch for aphids, fungal leaf spot, root rot and downy mildew. Remove deadheads from the plant when they start to shrivel up to extend and support its flowering season. This Hebe is a member of the Hebe Summer Drinks Collection alongside 'Pink Fizz', 'Sangria Sensation' and 'White Spritzer'.
