Hebe leiophylla 'Slate River Gold'
Rounded bushy shrub with fine erect branches. Long narrow bright gold-green leaves smoother the branches and give this dense shrub a very attractive appearance. The white flowers smother the bush and appear in spring over a long period. It will grow best in semi-shade. Avoid very hot dry sites. Hardy to cold. A very tidy plant that clips well. Selected by Laurie Metcalf. Occurs naturally in Northern South Island, in a wide range of sites.
