I have a row of Hebes and this was the icing on the cake
Boofy
Hayling Island
Hebe Midnight Sky ('Lowten') (PBR) (Garden Beauty Series)
shrubby veronica
2 litre pot
available to order from late summer
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: moist, well drained and fertile
- Flowering period: June to August
- Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection)
The rich green leaves of this evergreen shrub turn a deep purple colour as the temperatures drop and remain that way throughout the winter. This in itself offers lots of interest, so the spikes of pinkish purple flowers, which appear in summer, are the icing on the cake. Use it to add interest to the winter garden, while enjoying the summer colour. - Garden care: Needs minimal pruning. Remove misplaced or frost damaged branches in late spring. Protect from severe winter weather.
