These charming blossoms create a lovely contrast against the gray-green foliage, adding a touch of elegance and grace to the garden. The flowers also attract pollinators, such as butterflies and bees, contributing to a vibrant and thriving ecosystem.

It is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, including well-draining soils. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires regular watering, particularly during dry spells. Pruning is not typically necessary, but occasional shaping can help maintain its compact form.
• Versatile garden plant: Hebe Blondie is a versatile shrub that can be used in various garden settings. It works well as a border plant, rockery addition, or container specimen. Its delicate and compact nature makes it suitable for small gardens, urban landscapes, or for adding detail to larger garden designs.

Maintenance:

To keep Hebe Blondie looking its best, follow these maintenance tips:

• Light requirements: Plant Hebe Blondie in a location that receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While it can tolerate partial shade, full sun exposure generally promotes better flowering and foliage color.
• Soil conditions: Provide well-draining soil that is enriched with organic matter. Ensure that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Adding mulch around the base of the shrub helps retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
• Watering: Water the plant regularly, especially during hot and dry periods. Aim for deep, thorough watering to encourage healthy root development. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the package instructions for application rates. This will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may result in excessive vegetative growth.
• Pruning: Pruning is generally not required for Hebe Blondie. However, if necessary, lightly trim the plant after flowering to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may affect the overall appearance and flowering potential.
• Pest and disease control: Hebe Blondie is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it's important to monitor for common garden pests, such as aphids or spider mites, and treat any infestations promptly using appropriate insecticides or organic pest control methods.
