(Named for Lake Christabel in the Spenser Mountains of New Zealand.) We have lost many hebes in exceptionally cold winters and have noticed that those with tiny leaves or a whipcord-like compositions of leaves are the hardiest. 'Christabel' is one of the latter with yellow green leaves adpressed to yellowish stems. It makes a very compact evergreen shrublet that would be excellent for a low hedge along a narrow border. This has not yet bloomed for us.
