Heliohebe hulkeana

We invite you to try this rarely if ever seen New Zealander with us! A small to medium shrub of lax habit with glossy evergreen leaves slightly toothed at the ends that give it an overall softer look than many other Hebes. The true star that drew us to a small batch of seed is the impressive inflorescences of lavender flowers that emerge in Summer. Reports of hardiness vary widely but we are determined to see for ourselves and are banking on you, our bold and foolhardy customers to follow us once more into the breach. Best grown in a sunny well-drained spot, and wouldn't mind some extra warmth from some cozy rock neighbors.
