Hebe 'Tri-Color', Hebe speciosa 'Tricolor', Hebe 'Purple Tips', Showy Hebe, Variegated Hebe, Veronica speciosa 'Variegata'
Hebe speciosa ‘Variegata’ is an upright, rounded, evergreen shrub forming a mound of slender, gray-green leaves with irregular creamy-white margins. Often purple-tinged when young, the foliage turns pinkish-purple in cold weather. In summer, pretty spikes of violet-purple flowers appear on the tips of the branches, eventually smothering the shrub. They are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. However, the main contribution of this evergreen shrub is its brightly colored foliage throughout the year. A great choice as a specimen plant, a low hedge, or the mixed border.
