Hebe parviflora, Endemic to Hawkes Bay, and often found on Forest edges in the east of the North Island. Elijah growing heavy with lush lime green foliage. Prolific white flowers in summer.
Great for exposed banks. Eye-catching presence in any garden though it responds equally well to trimming and can be shaped into an effective hedging plant. Hebes are epicentres of insect activity, providing an important source of nectar and pollen for many native insect species, including native bees and flies.
