Parahebe perfoliata is flowering profusely; it must be our climate, this mild winter, benign spring weather and the plant also has the benefit of a southerly aspect situated in a sun drenched spot in front of the glasshouses. So if it could not perform well within these parameters it should be destined for the compost heap. Native to New Zealand the glaucous rotund leaves envelope the stem. The flower spike arches from the tip of this year’s growth, blue four petalled flowers with white anthers open gradually from base to tip.
