Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Found in rocky places in New Zealand in subalpine scrub up to 6,000 ft, and collected from the Fiordland Mountains. Long a "grail" for us since seeing beautiful specimens in the new rock garden in the mid 90s at Kew in the United Kingdom, this form makes a dense mound of upright stems with strikingly large, at least for a Hebe, clusters of white flowers in June. Likes a little extra drainage. Probably frost hardy well into USDA zone 7.
