15/20cm Pot Grown Hebe 'Sutherlandii'
(Hebe pinguifolia 'Sutherlandii')

By late Summer, the Hebe pinguifolia ‰ۡÌÝÌáSutherlandii,‰ۡó» is sprayed with delicate white flowers that are laid on long flower spikes, that look somewhat attractive against the purple stems and grey-green foliage. Its flowers are around for a while, as they sit profusely from late Summer, through to Autumn and sometimes even into early Winter.

The Hebe ‰ۡÌÝÌáSutherlandii‰ۡó» is described as a dwarf variety of the Hebe family, as it only grows to 45cm in height, maximum. This makes it ideal for smaller outdoor spaces, or as a low informal hedge. It is also surprisingly pollution tolerant, which makes it perfect for urban gardens too (especially when you have very little space).

This 15/20cm Hebe Sutherlandii plant is slow growing and will grow to about 0.5m high in good conditions.

Your Hebe ‰ۡÌÝÌáSutherlandii‰ۡó» loves to be placed in a sunny site, with moist, well-drained soil- and will always thrive best when away from strong, cold Winter winds. It begins off being very fast growing until it reaches its biggest height, but from them on will become very low maintenance. It will also be best when kept to mounds or rounded hedges, instead of having hard edges, as it can be easier to maintain and keep to shape.

• Growth height: Slow (10-20cm per year)
• Ideal height: 0.5m+ Small
• Soil Type: Normal
• Exposure: Coastal, Inland, Sheltered
• Aspect: Sun
• Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

Your Hebe ‰ۡÌÝÌáSutherlandii‰ۡó» should be pruned within the growing season, or at the very end of the Winter dormancy time. Please note, you should not prune in in Late Autumn or Winter months.
