Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shrouded in hushed gray-greens, Hebe recurva's rounded visage conveys its composed character. A bushy array of glaucous, sickle-shaped narrow leaves, whose tips curve downward, elegantly garbs the red-tinged, slender stems and come summer, broadcasts infinite, snowy white Veronica-like spikes. One of the hardiest Hebes, this cool-colored shrub will easily fit in any garden, and looks especially alluring when sited amid Geranium lancastriense and Helianthemum 'St. Mary's'.
Grayish curled foliage, bushy to 3'; its one of the hardiest of the larger species.
