Hebe odora prostrata (Veronica odora prostrata)
Veronica odora prostrata
Hebe odora prostrata is grown for both its elegant, spreading foliage and flowers. The foliage comprises small and glossy dark green leaves, which are held on prostrate branches. These are adorned by masses of small and showy, white flowers through spring and autumn as it grows to 15 cm tall and 1 m wide. Hebe odora prostrata is commonly included in borders, used as a groundcover, planted so it can spill out onto a path or over a wall, included in rock and “white” gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas such as pools.
