They have had flowers on several times in the past 12 months and it's always a pleasure to see them. Steve keeps chopping away at the plants and i keep wondering how long they will stand his rough treatment. I would be sorry to lose them as they came from my Mum's garden before she died.
These look like a native NZ hebe we call a Koromiko.. and the are best trimmed after flowering or they go all straggly.. if you want to be sure they survive put some of the cuttings into trays then you will have lots of plants.. they ate lovely..
