James Stirling' is a dense evergreen shrub with bright ochre-colored, scale-like leaves appressed to the stems in whipcord fashion that grows more open with age, like 10 or more years. The impression is that of cypress or juniper foliage in a very stout, wide vase shape. White, petaled flowers in late spring cover the top like snowflakes, brightening it noticeably - a different flower from the spike of most Hebes! This is an unusual color for the garden and looks really great with Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow', Juniperus communis 'Compressa', and Euphorbia rigida. Amaze friends and neighbors with a new and unexpected color palette that is provocative and really works. One of the hardiest and one of our favorites!

Mature size: 3-4 feet tall and wide, but can remain small and compact for 4-5 years.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
