Hebe Headfortii, also known as the Purple Headfortii, is a bushy evergreen shrub that can grow up to 1 meter high. It features a rounded habit with narrow, glossy green leaves and produces branched spikes of purple flowers in summer, often with a second flush in early autumn. This plant is suitable for a range of well-drained soils but thrives best in poor to moderately fertile, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. It prefers sun or partial shade with shelter from cold, drying winds and requires winter protection in cold winters. Minimal pruning is needed.
