Evergreen and eye catching

Evergreen, long lasting and easy to grow and keep.  Colourful hebe plants will add that year-round colour to gardens that make them dull in the winter.  New Hebe varieties like Eyecatcher, and Purple Pixie and of course the ever-colourful Hebe Heartbreaker and Burning Heart.  Plant in full sun and see the extraordinary colours unfold or plant in partial shade and let them have the dappled grace of colour for that somewhat dark area.  Wherever you plant a Hebe – expect it to show what they can do – add colour to your spring garden all year round and be there always!

Scottish Heathers are always on display in winter, summer and autumn.  Colourfull foilage and stunning flowers will show off in all weather and seasons.  Remember to always have that white heather in the garden for the good luck – Create that stunning rock garden, decorate a boring bank, slope, or just add a little bit of Scotland into your garden with a Scottish Heather!
