I am Kiwi Hebe™ Karaka. My family originated from New Zealand
I am a compact shrub with purple plump round flower spikes from late spring through to winter.
I attract pollinators including butterflies and bees making me the ideal plant to include in pollinator friendly gardens. Plant me close to your veggie patch to encourage beneficial insects. I am a classy evergreen shrub just as happy growing in a pot or other container as I am planted out in the garden. I tolerate frost down to -5C and am drought tolerant once established. |
