Hebe Turkish Delight

Hebe 'Turkish Delight' (also known as 'Turkish Delight' Shrubby Veronica) is a small bush with a rounded habit that will decorate your borders, pots, and rockeries all year round thanks to its shiny bronze-brown foliage, which turns intense purple once cold weather arrives.

'Turkish Delight' Hebe is a charming evergreen bush with a rounded and dense habit. It reaches 90cm (3ft) in height and spread at maturity. It has beautiful shiny bronze-brown foliage during the summer, which can add definition to garden pathways. As cold weather arrives, its leaves will turn an intense purple colour, almost black. Its leaves are oval in shape, slender, and end in a point. They are arranged on an axis, in opposition to each other. It flowers modestly, displaying small spikes of blue-mauve flowers from June to September.

Originally from New Zealand, the 'Turkish Delight' Hebe will enhance and bring life to your borders or mixed borders in the off-season.

With a reputation for being disease-resistant, the 'Turkish Delight' Hebe is hardy down to -7°C (19.4 °F). It is sensitive to extreme cold and prefers a sunny exposure, but tolerates partial shade. It appreciates well-drained, humus-rich, light, and moist soil.
