HEBE Magicolors Heartbreaker

HEBE Magicolors Heartbreaker

Compact and evergreen, Hebe Heartbreaker forms a neat mound to about 60cm tall and wide, with narrow greygreen leaves edged creamywhite; young shoots are flushed pink, the colour often strongest in cooler weather. Short sprays of pale lavender to lilac flowers appear from summer into early autumn. Grow in full sun or light shade in moist but welldrained, moderately fertile soil, ideally in a sheltered spot. Excellent for borders, containers, courtyard spaces, rockeries and suitable for coastal plantings in Irish gardens.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
