Could anyone identify this plant for me? It self seeded in one of my pots. It is a very pretty small bush with slightly droopy branches, leaves are in pairs opposite each other with the flour arising from the area where the leaves join the stem. I have seen a bush looking similar which is head height.

    I'm sure l know it but it's just not coming to me. Maybe @Silver surfer or @nutcutlet will know  :)

    That's one of my favourite hebes. Both the leaves and the flowers are very attractive.

    There's one with an odd name - gooseneck- or something of that order. Very pretty, tough and easy to grow.

    Thank you so much everyone. I’m sure you are right. It is a hebe. The growth pattern is the same. Now I just have to find the right one. Looking on the internet hebe boughton Silver comes close. But mine is a bit more delicate. Thank you all for helping me out. I’ll keep looking.

    I think it’s a hebe salicifolia! Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.
