What plants would you take with you if you moved house.....

"Farm1" please@askifyouwannaknow wrote I had thought that the one I had might be a parahebe catarractae - I think my blue one only gave up the ghost because it was small and newly planted and I probably didn't water it enough to get it established before our hot, dry spell. Could be. I put in a baby which struggled last year but it's coming on again now. 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? |

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. -- Sue |
