Densely branched shrub, low growing, to 1-1.5 ft tall and almost 3 ft wide, with blue-gray, glaucous leaves on dark stems for a showy contrast. A chance selection at County Park Nursery in the UK, this is one of the most popular hebes. Sun to part sun with good drainage and normal water.

Easy and decorative in the garden. Frost hardy to at least 0F, USDA zone 7 and possibly lower. 1g @ $16 Ranunculaceae Holboellia coriacea china blue vine This evergreen Akebia relation is an excellent trellis or fence cover, reaching 15-20 ft or so.

Cold hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7 or less. 6in @ $14 Lardizabalaceae Hydrangea aspera 'Rocklon' rough-leaved hydrangea Unusual hydrangea selected for its dark purple stems and petioles and for flowers that are bigger than a small child's head, white lace-caps appearing from pinkish buds.
