    Can you identify this small purple shrub? :scratch: Many thanks in advance for your help :smile: Apologies for the poor picture quality. Unfortunately, it got badly frost damaged over the winter :frown:

        Looks like a Hebe to me but not sure what variety it would be.

        Happy gardening!

          Almost certainly a Hebe. :)

          I think there are over 100 varieties of Hebe. :rolleyespink:
