Genus: Hebe

It is really lovely, I enjoy it.

Oh, they are lovely, I had a purple one, but looked skinnier in the flower. This one is so nice.

It very compact only about ten inches high

How pretty, Janette. How tall does the Hebe get?

Oh, so different from the hebe I once had. This is gorgeous, I love the leaves. Does it flower too? Mine had dark purple flowers.

Still Pretty :)

Its only little flowers Jacque

This is a nice soft pink hebe :)

lol .... if only :-D

I like it with the sun coming through

Yes there is quite a pleasant smell coming from that corner.

I love white blooming shrubs, is this one fragrant ?

Yes, but they go across to the top border onto the Origanum in preference!

oh you must get loads of butterflies on that spritz?

You've hit on something then - find out what it was and market it!!! You will be a millionaire... lol.

It probably doesn't, Barbara. I cannot say what it may have been fed when my youngsters have entertained their friends with a barbecue in the garden :-D
Whatever, it is looking better this year than it ever has in the past!

Xela - that's interesting. I wasn't aware that H.pinguifolia came in any colour except white! We live and learn...

Mine flowered for the first time this year. I expected the flowers to be white like yours but they were more of a pale blue.

Its Morning Glory i belive Spritz?

Thanks - and its name, please, Jacque! The cuttings I took off my daughter's purple Hebe look a bit droopy. I think it was probably too early, but she says I can try again later in the summer.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm sure do Spritz :) Iv a Really Dark Purple Hebe & its Beautiful :) When im nex in garden & weathers good again il take a pic just4 u :D

Now do you see why I prefer the darker/brighter ones?

It sure is that Irish :)

Super colour :)

beautiful

I have taken cuttings from one in my daughter's garden - that is VERY purple! fingers crossed. I wonder if it's like yours? When does yours flower, Jacque?

Iv Morning Glory Hebe Spritz its so PURPLE :)

Well, it's covered in flowers this year! I still like the bright ones....Magenta and bright pink, deep purple - yummy!

Its aLovely Soft Colour Spritz :)

What great Colours These Plants R Sarah65 :D

Is so Very Pretty Sarah65 never seen it 4b:)

Love the colour :)

GREAT impulse ! Beautiful

Good luck, Janette!

Bought one of these last week for £2.00 as a Save Me just needs some TLC Hope it turns out like yours Beautiful

That was a good impulse, I think.

Stunning Hebe I had a freebie one given to me by Pakers sadly it wasn't too happy and died which was such a great shame and was my first hebe to ever do so! Hel.xxx.

Hebes are known to produce the odd flower here and there in mild weather at any time of the year, especially the larger leaf types.

hi Dan, i have never been a big fan of them either, but i just stumbled accross this one on Romford market and could'nt resist, a really lovely plant would fully reccomend it!

Love the foliage on this plant. I don't have any Hebes yet, but this beautiful photo makes a convincing argument for adding some. Dan

This one is 'Caledonia'. I have another Hebe but it's larger and completely different colours. I shall put a pic on later.

There's one called 'Autumn Glory' Jacque - is that what you have? This one sure looks like 'Caledonia'

Iv 1 the same colour i think its called MORNING GLORY?? :D

FANTASTIC BLUE : )

Yeahhhhh someone else who's Hebe is doing strange things! Mine is just going over now due to the week of hard frosts we've just had

Pure madness Andrew is'nt it! looks lovely tho!

Your garden is looking lovely, hard to believe you've done so much in such a short time, the lawn is particularly nice, did you have a wonderful friend to help you!!!! I have a little baby for you to add, when I finally get round to seeing you, x

i actually have 2 hebes this one and another one i have'nt pictured yet - but they are both small leaf varieties and a bit different - don't like the big leaf ones! but yes ofcourse you can have cutings. what do you think of my garden now? have'nt we done well! xx

can't believe you finally put a hebe in your garden, it is pretty though, may have to have a off shoot of this one please!

Broad leafed hebes are considered to be less hardy than the narrow leafed ones. They former certainly do not survive here in most winters.

Hi Dormer, it looks like H.speciosa can manage 0 degrees to -5 depending on the cultivar but it seems the variegated varieties might not manage... are you expecting a proper winter?
