Hebe diosmifolia ‘Mauve’
DESCRIPTION & SIZE GUIDE
Hebe diosmifolia ‘Mauve’ is a compact evergreen shrub growing 1 - 1.5 metres tall with soft, rounded foliage and attractive mauve-purple flowers in spring and summer. Its neat, bushy habit makes it perfect for borders, mass plantings, or small urban gardens. Space 60 - 80 cm apart for groupings or hedges. Its flowering season provides extended colour, complementing other native plants and adding visual interest to contemporary landscapes.
ECOLOGICAL BENEFIT
Flowers are nectar-rich, attracting native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its dense foliage provides shelter for small birds and invertebrates. By planting Hebe ‘Mauve’ over exotic shrubs, gardeners enhance local biodiversity and create functional wildlife-supporting gardens, while maintaining tidy, low-maintenance borders.
GROWING CONDITIONS & CARE
Thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soils. Tolerant of coastal winds, frost, and drought once established. Light pruning maintains compactness and encourages flowering. Its low-maintenance nature, seasonal blooms, and ecological contribution make it ideal for both residential and urban landscaping.
