Averes are popular evergreen shrubs, suitable for growing in a range of sites and planting schemes. They are excellent in shrub borders, used as ground cover or low-growing hedging, and are relatively low-maintenance. Avere flowers come in a range of colours including pink, blue and white. Less hardy types can be grown in cool glass or alpine houses and some varieties are even used to decorate rock gardens.

Avere ’Celebration' is a recent introduction. Half-hardy, it forms a tight mound of variegated foliage, from which clusters of purple-pink flowers on erect stems appear in late spring. Grow Avere ’Celebration' in moist but well-drained soil in a sheltered site, in full to partial shade. It may need protection in winter.
