Veronica albicans, commonly known as White Hebe, is an evergreen shrub native to the grasslands, alpine areas, and scrublands of New Zealand. It typically grows to a height and width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters), forming a compact, bushy mound. The foliage is glossy and dark green, providing a lush backdrop for the flowers. White Hebe blooms profusely with spikes of white flowers that may have a hint of pink or purple at the base, appearing from late spring to fall, adding a long season of interest to the garden.

White Hebe is valued for its drought tolerance, low maintenance requirements, and the extended blooming period. It is often used in rock gardens, as a border plant, or in containers. This shrub thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, and it prefers well-drained soil. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. In regions with harsh winters, it may require protection or be grown as an annual.CC BY-SA 4.0
