Hebe

Hebe, a dome-shape shrub, boasts bold flower spikes in white, purple, and pink from summer to fall. Even without flowers, this multi-season star colors the landscape with beautiful evergreen foliage in green, whitish green, silver, or green tinged with cream or copper, depending on the species and cultivar.
