Nice low (to 3') lavender fading to white flowered selection from the famed Western Hills Nursery in California. Tough and one of the best for tolerating low temps. We were so excited to go to Western Hills years ago and loved the setting and age of the plantings.

This mounding shrub to 3' has a distinct appearance because the stems tend to remain unbranched along much of their length, so it looks like a mass of air with Hebe leaves on it, or something. Well, maybe not. It's also rather upright in habit, and the leaves have a bluish grey hue; flowers are white. Hardy to at least 10 °F.
