Hebes are easy to grow, in either full-sun or partial shade, creating a dense mound of foliage that rarely needs pruning. This species features lilac flowers in the summer months, although it is mainly grown for its low mound of silver evergreen foliage, being planted to contrast against green shrubs and provide a background for bright flowers.
