Description
Hebe 'Emerald Green' is a neat, ball-shaped evergreen shrub prized for its stunning tiny-leaved emerald foliage that holds its colour and compact form year-round. Once known as 'Green Globe', this fast-growing Hebe is a designer favourite for adding structure, texture, and a touch of formality to garden beds, borders, and containers. It grows to approximately 30 to 60cm high and wide, making it perfectly proportioned for tight spaces and feature planting.
Highly adaptable and low-maintenance, 'Emerald Green' tolerates most soil types and thrives in full sun to semi shade. It is highly frost hardy and suits coastal, formal, tropical, and rockery garden styles with ease. Water adequately during the warmer months to keep it looking its best, and note that it may begin to open in the centre after a few years, which can be managed with light pruning.
Key Features:
Growing & Care Guide
- Soil: Tolerates most soil types and is highly adaptable to a wide range of garden conditions.
- Light: Thrives in full sun to semi shade.
- Watering: Water adequately during the warmer months to maintain healthy growth and foliage colour. Once established, water requirements are relatively low.
- Fertiliser: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and maintain the vibrant emerald foliage colour.
- Maintenance: Low maintenance overall. Prune lightly to maintain the ball shape and to address any opening in the centre that may occur after a few years of growth.
- Flowering: Flowers are insignificant. This plant is grown primarily for its striking emerald foliage and neat bun-shaped habit.
