Hebe ‘Summer Blue’

Common Name:
Hebe ‘Summer Blue’ (sometimes marketed as Veronica ‘Summer Blue’)

Description:
Hebe ‘Summer Blue’ is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its neat, mound‑forming habit and profuse, pale violet‑blue blooms. The foliage is a fresh mid‑green, with small, elliptic leaves arranged densely along the branching stems.
