A miniature form of the dark emerald foliaged Hebe diosmifolia with a height up to 40cm and a width of 80 cm.The deep green leaves are small and glossy and tend to lie in one plane; the edges are minutely incised. Pale pink to white flowers are produced in abundance in late winter through to summer.
