Hebe Dark Angel 2 litre

Rich burgundy evergreen leaves with clouds of lilac flowers in late spring and early summer, so there’s colour in every month. Dark Angel turned up as a chance seedling at the Bransford site and went on sale in 2006 after four years of trials. Bees and butterflies love it.

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