Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very tall and bushy hebe, to an eventual 6-8 ft tall and wide, with long, narrow, willow-like leaves, and, in summer, spikes of white to pale lilac flowers. This form, collected by Sean Hogan, is found on New Zealand's South Island and expects "hebe" conditions, sun to part shade out of drying winds in soil that drains well with moderate summer water to establish and occasionally thereafter. Very frost hardy; easy to 10 °F, USDA zone 8, and accepts lower temperatures with excellent drainage.
