Hebe pinguifolia 'Sutherlandii' is a splendid, low-growing, evergreen shrub forming a dense mat of tiny, gray-green leaves. The leaves, crowded on the stems, give the plant a different texture from most other evergreen shrubs. In summer, short spikes of white flowers adorned with blue anthers appear above the foliage. The compact and tidy nature of this shrub makes it a valuable edging plant or ground cover.
