Thanks AnniD - leaves are fairly big if that helps narrow it down

There's hundreds of varieties, so it would be hard to pinpoint.
The variegated ones are less hardy. I don't grow them now for that reason.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

There are so many different varieties available that it's hard to give a definite id. When it flowers, the flower colour might help to narrow it down.
The fact it has a distinct shape might help someone more expert than me to identify it

earlydaze you could look at Hebe Society web site to attempt an id.
A -Z list with pics.
Really need to know flower colour.
