Notes
'Purple Shamrock' hebe (Hebe 'Purple Shamrock') is a shrub for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Small lavender flowers appear at the branch tips in summer and attract bees and butterflies. It stays evergreen, so it looks good all year. It needs no pruning.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Prairie Fire orange New Zealand sedge, and Mexican daisy.
