Description

Hebe buxifolia ‘Patty’s Purple’ is a charming, compact evergreen shrub prized for its profuse spikes of violet-purple flowers and dense, rounded form. This low-maintenance cultivar features small, glossy, boxwood-like, dark green leaves arranged neatly along reddish stems. From late spring through summer, and often into early fall, it produces an abundance of slender, upright flower spikes covered in small, star-shaped, rich violet-purple blooms that fade gracefully to white as they mature, creating a striking two-tone effect . The flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. With its naturally compact, mounding habit and excellent tolerance for salt spray, drought, and coastal winds, it is an outstanding choice for low hedges, foundation plantings, coastal gardens, rock gardens, and containers.
