Hebe pinguifolia (Pagei) 'Sutherlandii'
A low growing evergreen shrub that forms spreading mounds of small, rounded leaves in a distinctive blue grey hue, creating superb ground cover with year round colour. The thick, waxy foliage has a unique pearlescent sheen that stands out against green leaved plants, particularly in winter when many other shrubs lose their vibrancy. In late spring, short spikes of pure white flowers emerge, providing a striking contrast against the cool toned leaves. Exceptionally drought tolerant once established, it thrives in poor, well drained soils and exposed coastal locations where other plants might struggle. Perfect for cascading over walls, filling gaps in rockeries or edging pathways, this hardy shrub combines ornamental appeal with remarkable resilience, requiring virtually no maintenance while providing constant visual interest.
