Plant description
This compact shrub flowers for much of the summer, producing neat spikes of soft lavender-pink blooms that fade to white as they mature, giving a gentle two-tone effect.
The flowers sit above low, glossy green foliage that forms a tidy mound, making Parahebe catarractae ‘Pink Avalanche’ a useful choice for the front of borders, gravel gardens, or containers. It stays attractive for months, adds steady colour without fuss, and keeps a clean, well-shaped form with minimal care.

How to care for Parahebe catarractae Pink Avalanche:
Grow in well-drained soil in full sun with shelter from cold, drying winds. Parahebe are perfect for low-maintenance containers (use a well-drained, loam-based compost). Winter protection is important—provide extra shelter or cover in the coldest months to ensure the plant survives and thrives year after year.
Please note:
This shrub is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
