Hebe Green Globe

A compact, evergreen dwarf shrub that forms a naturally neat, globe-shaped mound. Also known as Hebe 'Emerald Gem' & 'Emerald Green', Hebe 'Green Globe' is prized for its dense, moss-like appearance, featuring tiny, scale-like leaves in a vivid, bright green. While primarily grown for its striking architectural texture and year-round colour, it occasionally produces small, delicate white flowers in summer. Its uniform, ball-shaped growth habit makes it a perfect choice for rock gardens, low borders, or as a structural element in patio containers, requiring almost no pruning to maintain its tidy shape.
