Hebe 'Lavender Lace' is one of New Zealand's most free-flowering and dependable native hebe cultivars, and a plant that earns its keep in the garden with an exceptionally long and generous flowering season. Clusters of lavender-blue flowers are abundant from spring through to summer, and as the blooms age they fade to white creating a lovely two-toned effect across the whole bush that gives it a soft, romantic quality quite unlike any other native shrub. Each flower spike reaches approximately 7 cm long, and the plant produces them prolifically over a three-month period from summer to autumn.
