    A purple flowered Hebe?  Not sure as it is telling me that site doesn't exist but directed me to your last upload.

    Yes, it does look like a little hebe

    Billericay - Essex

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    If it is the purple flowered hebe, It needs a little fertiliser in Spring, and a bit of deadheading of old flowers. They root easily from new shoots.

    Hi Alison. Sadly neither of your links work so I cannot see the pictures. I've copied and pasted the message I got:

    Oops! Looks like you followed a bad link.

    Pete.8 and fidgetbones seem to have got the picture ok so they will be able to give you hints etc. as to how to care for your hebe.

    I'm not sure what variety yours is, but there's some general info from the RHS here.
    I have grown them, they quite easy and don't need a great deal of care or expertise to keep them going.
    Nice little shrub you have there.

    That's great to hear :) bee food is in very short supply this time of year.
