Hebe ‘Emerald Green’ is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its dense growth habit and vibrant emerald-green foliage. Forming a naturally neat rounded mound, this versatile hebe provides year-round structure, colour and texture, making it an excellent choice for borders, pathways, low hedging and container planting.

Its small glossy leaves create a tidy formal appearance without the need for constant clipping, making it a popular alternative to traditional box hedging. During summer, delicate white flowers appear above the foliage, attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators to the garden.

Tough, hardy and easy to grow, Hebe ‘Emerald Green’ thrives throughout New Zealand and performs exceptionally well in coastal gardens, exposed sites and low-maintenance landscapes. Its compact size and evergreen nature make it ideal for both modern and traditional garden designs.

Whether planted as a border, low hedge or standalone specimen, Hebe ‘Emerald Green’ delivers reliable year-round performance and effortless garden appeal.

Plant in full sun to partial shade. Full sun encourages the densest growth and best overall form.

Soil
Prefers well-drained soil but adapts to a range of garden conditions. Avoid permanently wet sites.

Watering
Water regularly during establishment. Once established, Hebe ‘Emerald Green’ is relatively drought tolerant and requires little supplementary watering.

Feeding
Apply a general-purpose slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy foliage and flowering.

Spacing
Allow approximately 50–80cm between plants. For a low hedge, plant 50–60cm apart.

Very low maintenance once established. Light trimming after flowering will help maintain a neat compact shape and encourage dense growth.

Remove any damaged or dead stems as required. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood as recovery can be slow.
