The white one does cope with our dry conditions fairly well.
Sometimes it loses leaves and looks a bit tatty after too much summer
drought or an extra cold spell in winter, but given a haircut when
better conditions arrive and it recovers well, I find.
Is this a parahebe catarractae too?
I couldn't for the life of me remember, but I've gone through my old
labels and found it's called Parahebe lyallii and described as a
semi-evergreen sub-shrub.
It is only a low grower so here it lives at the front of a narrow,
mostly sunny border. It's not an extrovert plant, but I like it even out
of flower because of its neat mound of little deep green leaves which
makes a nice foil to other surrounding things.
