| Design Ideas | Hebes are excellent front yard foundation plants that look great in every season. Use in quantity to create low naturalistic hedges or lightly clip for semi-formal appearance. Use in masses evenly spaced for uniform, low maintenance ground coverage. Superior color for mixed beds and borders that need glossy foliage for in between flowering seasons. Particularly valuable for adding volume to tropical looking gardens of large leaf or lanky form exotics. |
