Hebe Marilyn Monroe

Hebe Marilyn Monroe Details

Hebe Marilyn Monroe is grown for its lovely flowers and foliage. It bears clusters of dark pink-lilac flowers that fade to white with age. These are held above the dense foliage which is variegated olive-green with a cream margin. It grows as a bushy, evergreen shrub to about 50 cm tall and 80 cm wide, performing best when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of moderate frost, cool climates, coastal environments, and dry periods once established. Hebe Marilyn Monroe is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, maintained in a container, included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools, or mass planted either on a bank or as a groundcover for an effective display.
