Hebe 'Purple Haze' is an old time favourite amongst many Australian gardeners. 'Purple Haze' has copper coloured buds that open up to reveal an abundance of rich purple flowers that are offset by glossy mid green foliage. Originally a native of New Zealand, Hebe's are renowned for their tough characteristics being tolerable of a wide range of conditions.

Grows well in most soil types that are well draining. Prune to shape with hedging shears after flowering to encourage a dense habit. Feed with a general purpose slow release fertiliser after flowering. Medium water requirements. Once established, quite dry tolerant requiring only intermittent watering during extended periods of heat.

• Excellent for short hedging up to 60 - 80cm • Small gardens, patios and courtyards • Ideal for coastal conditions • Compact habit makes it perfect for growing in containers • Well suited cottage style gardens through to mass planting for maximum impact
