Veronica hulkeana

Hebe hulkeana, commonly known as the New Zealand Lilac, is an open and sprawling evergreen shrub. It is renowned for the masses of small, mauve-white flowers produced in spring through summer off slender stems. These sit neatly above the glossy green leaves as it grows to 50 cm tall and 1.5 m wide. Hebe hulkeana is ideal for including in mixed plantings, mass planting as a groundcover, including in borders, or planting around the base of trees and large shrubs.

Hebe hulkeana is currently unavailable, but we do have other other amazing species and varieties of Hebe available.
