Hebe Grethe is a compact, evergreen shrub valued for its neat habit and year-round foliage, ideal for borders, low hedging, and containers in Irish gardens. Plant in a sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered spot with well-drained, moderately fertile soil; avoid waterlogging, especially in winter. Once established, light trimming after flowering helps maintain shape. Hebes are widely appreciated by pollinating insects, making this a good choice for wildlife-friendly planting, and many perform well in coastal locations where soils are free-draining.
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.
