Hebe 'Nicola's Blush'
A bushy evergreen shrub, about 2ft (60cm) and the same across. Its leaves are spear-shaped, mid-green, about 1.5 in (3.8cm) long, with red margins; the leaf is coloured purple in winter. Pink flowers, fading to white, which gives a pleasant two-tone effect. It has a very long flowering period, which can last from early summer until the new year. A Hebe fairly hardy in the UK.
