Hebe spp.

I found this hebe in Salford Quays (late March), bordering a road on one side, and a car park on the other. Hebe is often quite popular amongst landscape architects due to its neat shape. Particularly when located off the side of a pedestrian walk way, it is important to choose a species that will not exceed beyond the space acquired for it.The hebe spp. is tidy and requires very little maintenance, making it low risk and cost effective in the long run.

Furthermore, the species has an intriguing three-dimensional texture making it aesthetically pleasing.

The hebbe spp. offers much variety in terms of heights and varieties, which means it is not difficult to find the right species to meet the exact needs required. Just meters away from this photo, were a much smaller variety in small planters, both purplish/brown and green. These planters were required to mark the edge of a car park, whereas the example below were most likely intended as visual and sound barriers from the main road.

The hebbe spp. are widespread and can be located in most public spaces.
