Hebe - not too sure of the variety, can anyone help?
Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
This is a Hebe, although it does have the appearance of a conifer. It has these beautiful little flowers on the ends of the leaves.

This one is in the Botanical Gardens again and it is in flower. If you look at the pictures I uploaded you will see the fully grown one. Unfortunately the hebes I planted which look like this are not in flower at the moment

hi Andrea, i don't have a picture, but it sounds like H.epacridea, or H. 'Boughton Dome' i have found referenfce to them in my rock plant book, and this is what it says: H. epacridea: Stems are clothed with scale-like leaves and whipcord branches bear white fragrant flowers in July. H. 'Boughton Dome' is another Whipcord Hebe, grown for its conier-like appearance, but there is no mention of flowers. you could try googling them see if anything comes up. hope this helps.
