HEBE Magicolors Magic Summer

Hebe Magic Summer is a compact, evergreen hebe suited to Irish gardens, ideal for containers and the front of mixed borders where its neat, bushy habit gives reliable yearround structure. Plant in sun or light shade in moist but welldrained soil, and choose a sheltered spot away from cold, drying winds. Trim lightly after any flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth; avoid cutting back into old wood. Plant in spring or early autumn when the soil is workable.

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.
