Hebe hulkeana, commonly known as the New Zealand Lilac, is an open and sprawling evergreen shrub. It is renowned for the masses of small, mauve-white flowers produced in spring through summer off slender stems. These sit neatly above the glossy green leaves as it grows to 50 cm tall and 1.5 m wide. Hebe hulkeana is ideal for including in mixed plantings, mass planting as a groundcover, including in borders, or planting around the base of trees and large shrubs.
