Hebe speciosa ‘Blue’ is the most vigorous of the hebe cultivars and it requires regular pruning.
It is a round bushy shrub (1.5 m X 1.5 m) with long branches and leaves that are broad fleshy blunt dark green glossy leaves.
In summer and autumn it develops long deep blue flower heads which smother the plant. It grows in sun or semi-shade, but best in well drained soil. Grows in exposed and coastal sites, and will always look best in these conditions.
