Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Known as the Boxwood imposter, this strong growing, compact Hebe is the perfect choice for hedging or topiary. Shoot tips and small, stiff pointed green leaves show off polished yellow-tinged hues while densely clasping light, sunny green stems. If left unclipped, it still looks impeccably ordered, forming a perfect little bun that occasionally cuts loose with white tapered blooms unfurling from green buds.
Tight, compact growth, good for hedging, evergreen, occasional white flowers, protect from winds. Zones 7-9.
Smaller growing Hebe with white flowers. Golden new growth.
