Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another introduction from County Park Nursery in the United Kingdom. A low, spreading shrub -- to 8" x 3 ft -- not quite as dense in growth as some of the mat-formers but the loose texture is nonetheless quite beautiful. Gray-blue leaves with reddish margins on darker stems and narrow clusters of light blue flowers in spring and often again in late autumn and winter. Very good texture when combined with large-leaved plants. Sun to part sun, good drainage and normal water. Upper USDA zone 7.

This Hebe is top drawer and even though it forms an evergreen mat just a few inches high, it towers above the rabble. Gray leaves, black stems and smothering itself in deep violet purple flowers May to July gives any gardener a Hebe High. Sun and drainage.
