Hebe ‘Mrs Winder’ – Compact Evergreen with Delicate Lavender Flowers

Hebe ‘Mrs Winder’ is a charming, compact evergreen shrub prized for its neat, dense foliage and masses of soft lavender-blue flowers that bloom from mid-summer to early autumn (July to September). Its small, glossy green leaves create a tidy mound, making it perfect for borders, rock gardens, or low hedging.

Best positioned in full sun to partial shade, this hardy Hebe thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates coastal conditions, making it ideal for exposed sites or seaside gardens.

Care tips: Water regularly during the first growing season to help it establish. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Avoid waterlogged soils to prevent root rot.

Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy growth and vibrant flowering.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood as this may inhibit new shoots.

Hebe ‘Mrs Winder’ is a reliable, low-maintenance plant that adds year-round structure and seasonal colour to UK gardens, blending well with other evergreen shrubs and perennials.
