I think the first is a form of Whipcord Hebe The second looks like Ajuga reptans 'Atropurpurea' Hi Dave, Having Googled the two plants you suggested, I am fairly convinced you are correct - especially re the Ajuga reptans. That's very helpful; thank you so much! The lady who sold me the plants thought the other one was an artemesia of some kind, but I wasn't convinced. ~Al |

Sorry, but the foliage on Santolina is more feathery and as has been said is aromatic, used to be called cotton lavender. Hebe is much more ridgid and the laves are almost scale like. |
