Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Hebe pareora
Height: 1m;  Spread: 1m
Shrub
Like H.amplexicaulis & H. albicans but has much fleshier and bigger glaucous leaves. It has white flowers and is hard to get established in warmer climates.
