Hebe is a popular, long-flowering evergreen shrub, known for its vibrant, nectar-rich flower spikes (blue, purple, pink, white) from summer to late autumn, attracting bees and butterflies. 

These compact, hardy shrubs thrive in sunny spots with well-drained soil, are great for pots or borders, and offer low maintenance with simple light pruning after flowering to shape them and encourage new growth, though protection from severe frost is needed in colder areas.
