Hebe bishopiana
 |
Hebe bishopiana is a low, spreading, evergreen shrub, growing to 16 in (40 cm) high. The lance-shaped leaves are 1.6–3.2 in (4–8 cm) long and 0.6–1 in (15–25 mm) wide. The branchlets are deep purple. The flowers open pale lilac and fade to white, and are carried from September until the first frosts. It was thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid, but research has shown it to be a species. It is classified as a vulnerable species, as it is under threat from introduced weeds. |
