Hebe 'Pink Tiara'

Lovely shade of pink. I have a laburnum tree with some flowers on it. This is not good for the long term life of our plants is it.

That is sooo pretty!

Nice....

That's lovely, is it hardy Spritz?

That is one for my wish list Barbara :o))

I love the colour too - this is one of the dwarf Hebes I planted in the fence border earlier this year. I checked all the labels and also on the Hebe website to make sure they were all hardy. I think I planted five different ones - but as it's dark, raining and blowing a gale, I'm not going out to count them! :-/

I thought all hebes were fully hardy - could be wrong though!

I'm afraid you are, Sheila. I lost two last year and one in the preceding winter.

Here's the address of the Hebe Society - it's a good site and tells you all you want to know about lots and lots of Hebes - with photos! :-)

Ah well, they say you learn something every day!!

Well, I do, that's for sure! ;-))

I'm curious now, Barbara! will use the site above to check them out. The plant shape is very appealing and the flowers are gorgeous. I see you used your flash to take the pic ...it does well in a shady spot?

LOL. We've had gales here, Lori, and although I tried to take a decent photo while it was still daylight, the Hebe was waving madly about, and I had to delete all the blurred photos, so I went out in the twilight when the wind dropped - and of course the flash went off. No - they prefer some sun.

I expect that's because it's a dwarf one. :-)
