A favourite at the nursery: this very effective evergreen shrub of unusual and striking texture forms a mound of tiny green leaves with plum-tinted tips. Flowers are palest pinky-white. H. anomala is the hardiest hebe we have yet seen surviving winters that have gone to minus 17 degrees Celsius without a scratch!
