Hebe 'Pretty in Pink' is part of a Hollywood Series of hebes that were selected to provide a variety of foliage and flower color to gardeners. This one has especially lovely foliage: burgundy-tipped juvenile leaves adorn the shrub during the growing season but during the cooler months the leaves of the entire shrub darken to burgundy. The new stems are also burgundy and enhance the overall effect of this shrub. The contrast between the bright pink flowers and the burgundy-tipped new growth is very pleasing. As the flowers age, the pink fades. The modest size of the shrub makes it suitable for smaller gardens.
Spring to summer. 12-24 in. x 36 in.
