I’m a huge fan of Hebe and after the winter’s trip to New Zealand have my sights on a few more for the rock garden, this one is a standout, tiny dwarf suitable for crevice garden or trough even. With tight clustered growth habit and small white flowers at the tips in the summer.

Most hebes don’t like to cook in desert heat type conditions unless they are kept moist, so either plan to give afternoon shade for drought tolerance or keep it watered through the summer.
