Hebe ‘Katrina’ – Hardy Evergreen with Vibrant Purple Blooms

Hebe ‘Katrina’ is a stunning, compact evergreen shrub that brings vibrant colour and texture to borders, beds, and containers. With neat green foliage and a tidy rounded habit, it bursts into bloom from June to September, producing clusters of vivid purple flowers that are a magnet for bees and butterflies.

Perfect for adding year-round structure, Hebe ‘Katrina’ reaches an approximate height and spread of 60cm, making it ideal for smaller gardens, patios, or as part of a mixed planting scheme.

Best positioned in full sun or partial shade, this hebe prefers well-drained soil and performs well in coastal areas and exposed sites. Its evergreen nature ensures interest even in the colder months.

Care tips: Water regularly during the first season until well-established. After that, it’s low-maintenance and moderately drought-tolerant. Feed in early spring with a general-purpose fertiliser to encourage lush foliage and more abundant blooms.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage dense growth. Avoid cutting into old wood. In early spring, remove any frost-damaged or dead stems to keep the plant looking fresh.

With long-lasting flowers and year-round structure, Hebe ‘Katrina’ is a dependable and colourful addition to any UK garden.
