Hebe spp.

Hebe is fast growing evergreen shrub which can reach 2m in height. It prefers position in full sun and some shelter from cold winds. This Hebe is located in Media City UK in Manchester. Compare to the other Hebe species around this one is left to grow bigger and its main function is to create a boundary between a parking space and street. The shrub does not like being pruned but is very easily transplanted. Hebe is good for hedges but it tends to become leggy. This plant is also surrounded by hard surface which means that it receives a lot of rain water and Hebes thrive in well drained soils. This Hebe responds well to the air pollution by the traffic in the area and also the run off. Apart from a small part of the plant which looks to be cut this Hebe looks robust and healthy. 
Its flowers have purple to dark purple colour in early spring. 
Some dried flowers can still be seen here and there on the shrub.
