Hebe Dark Secret2litre

Dark leaves and stems in winter, softening to a lighter colour as it warms up, then a mass of dark purple flowers in summer for the bees. Dark Secret was bred at Bransford Webbs by Karl O’Neill and is new for 2023. Evergreen and compact, so it suits a pot or a border.

Good to know: 60 x 60cm. Full sun, well-drained soil. Hardy, but give it some shelter in a long, hard frost. Trim lightly after flowering.
