    Found near the Esk River, South Island, New Zealand. Low growing whipcord to 2-3 ft. Apparently a natural hybrid of H. odora and H. armstrongii. Green in summer turning gold in winter. Sun to part sun, good drainage and normal water. Has been surprisingly hardy to frost to low USDA zone 8.

    Texture that could be taken for a conifer yet its truly a Hebe and one of the hardiest species. Mounds of whipcord like stems 2' x 2'
