Hebe 'Red Edge' (Hebe albicans red edge)

Pot Grown Hebe 'Red Edge'
(Hebe albicans 'Red Edge')

Hebe 'Red Edge' has uniformed and neat leaves̴Ì?decorated with distinct red margins, along with white-lilac coloured flower spikes that bloom in the Summer.

We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.

The Hebe ‰ۡÌÝÌáRed Edge,‰ۡó» has unique flowers that look stunning against its compact green foliage, that has tinges of a blue-grey colour. It is the perfect evergreen flowering hedge, when looking for an informal standalone shrub, as its peculiar features stand out in any outside space- otherwise, you can always grow it to be a simple, low-growing hedge.

To begin with, the Hebe albicans ‰ۡÌÝÌáRed Edge‰ۡó» has a rather fast growth rate, but once it reaches maturity and its max. height/spread, it grows quite slow- making it an attractive, low-maintenance hedge. Being low growing, it will only grow to around 50cm in height and spread, and always looks best when neatened up into mound-like shapes, rather than having hard edges (or can even be left to grow in its natural form). Whatever way you decide to go, we can guarantee it will always be eye catching.

Like most Hebe species, the Hebe albicans ‰ۡÌÝÌáRed Edge,‰ۡó» can easily handle many weather conditions, and is particularly ideal for coastal/salt-laden air situations. It will always thrive best in a sunny or semi-shaded condition, and placed in well-drained, moist soil. However, it can also grow well in sheltered/exposed locations but will just need a bit more protection from cold/strong winter winds.

̴Ì?

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

You will need to prune your Hebe ‰ۡÌÝÌáRed Edge,‰ۡó» in the growing season, or at the end of the Winter dormancy. You must not prune in late Autumn or Winter months.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down to lightly secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
