Hebe Snowdrift - 20cm Pot

Hebe ‘Snowdrift’ is a compact evergreen shrub grown for its masses of crisp white flower spikes and neat glossy foliage. Flowering heavily through summer, this reliable Hebe brings long-lasting colour and pollinator activity into the garden while remaining tidy and low maintenance throughout the year.

During the warmer months, the shrub becomes covered in upright white flower spikes that attract bees and other beneficial insects. The blooms sit neatly above dense dark green foliage, creating a fresh clean look that works well in both formal and informal garden settings. Even outside the flowering season, the compact evergreen leaves continue to provide structure and colour year-round.

Originally native to New Zealand, Hebe ‘Snowdrift’ is well suited to Australian gardens where a hardy compact shrub is needed for borders, low hedging or container planting. Its naturally rounded habit makes it useful for edging pathways, softening garden beds and filling smaller spaces without becoming unruly. It also performs well in coastal gardens and exposed positions provided the soil is well drained.

Mature size: approximately 80 centimetres high × 80 centimetres wide
