Hebe Cobb Valley
Shrubby Veronica, Speedwell shrub
Very pretty ball. Grows very slowly. The tiny leaves are amusing. Need to find it a spot where it won't be overshadowed by larger ones. I've planted 3 together in a group to give them a bit more presence.

Description
The 'Cobb Valley' Hebe is a hardy and evergreen bush. This Shrubby Veronica is among the small-leaved Hebes, and is particularly decorative thanks to its blue-green foliage that remains attractive all year round in most regions. It has white flowers and will be ideal for dressing up your rockeries and borders.
Plants of the genus Hebe are native to New Zealand and belong to the family of Plantaginaceae. They are also known as Shrubby Veronicas. The variety 'Cobb Valley' has a compact, dense, and upright habit. At maturity it reaches 50 cm (20 in) in height and 60 cm (24 in) in width. We love its soft and blue-green foliage. The leaves do not exceed 1.5 cm (0.6 in) in length; they are opposite, ovate in shape, and develop symmetrically on an axis. Its flowers appear during the month of June, in the form of small spikes bringing together a multitude of white flowers.
Grow in full sun or partial shade. The 'Cobb Valley' Hebe likes rich or poor, moist but well-drained soils that are not too acidic. 'Cobb Valley' has good hardiness, it will withstand temperatures around -10°C (14 °F), or sometimes -15°C (5 °F) if you ensure perfect drainage and a sheltered location; you can protect it with a thick mulch of leaves for extra security. This small structural bush is useful for demarcating your flowerbeds and will be ideal in combination with perennials such as Nepetas, or in rockeries with Sedums.

Planting and care
In gardens with a wet climate, the 'Cobb Valley' Hebe should be reserved for rockeries or sloping banks. If cultivated in open ground in northern Europe, make sure to provide it with good drainage; in more continental areas, protect the plant in winter with a fleece or a thick layer of leaves. Avoid pruning this Shrubby Veronica; however it is advisable to clean the Hebe of faded blooms once flowering is over. Remove any dead branches to preserve its compact habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
