Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth, gave her name to this pretty flowering shrub, native to New Zealand, South America, French Polynesia and the Falkland Islands.
A prolific bloomer through Summer and Autumn, hebes are very pretty and do a great job attracting and feeding many beneficial insects and butterflies.
These beauties are on a large hedge, on the morning walk rounds.
I love that the flowers are described as being arranged on a spiked inflorescence - how marvellous!
