Hebe ‘Rose Sparkler’

The Hebe ‘Rose Sparkler’ is available in a 2-litre pot and is the perfect choice for adding year-round colour to borders and pots in your garden.

This low maintenance evergreen plant has a compact growing habit with copper green foliage that has a red tinge in winter and turns green in warmer months, so this shrub will provide colour and interest to your garden in all seasons.

In addition to this, Hebe’s are a great choice if you are looking to attract wildlife to your outdoor space. A favourite of bees, butterflies and other pollinators, this dense shrub also provides shelter to a variety of insects.

Preferring a position in full sun with moist but well-drained soil, keep this hardy plant looking its best by removing spent flowers to encourage a further flush of blooms. Once flowering has finished a light trim helps to keep its neat shape. Keep an eye out for aphids, leaf spot, downy mildew and root rot.

The Hebe ‘Rose Sparkler’ looks particularly effective when planted as part of a courtyard garden, cottage and informal gardens, as well as in pots and containers on patios.
