A really nice looking plant that i haven't found too hard to grow.One thing though,it seems to need a lot of moisture as i have found that after a week or so of hot weather it can start to wilt.And remember too that this Hebe grows BIG-up to 15m!

I Live in Levin which has a fairly average rainfall. My plant is about 5 years old and has never been watered after the initial few months and it always looks fine. Only about 2 metres tall to date.
