Veronica (Heliohebe) raoulii
COMING SOON
N.Z. Veronica A little gem of a shrub with green foliage edged with red and spikes of mauve flowers in summer. H15cm × W40cm. Open sunny positions in soil with good drainage. Naturally inhabiting rocky open sites in Marlborough and northern Canterbury. In this photo the heliohebe nestles in and grows through the Raoulia in an appealing way. Although I don't have a picture of it flowering, it is possible to see the tiny spent blooms. A hybrid celmisia is happy here too.
