What heather type bush is this?

[ProfessorDent]

Hi, I've seen this around and I have been to a garden centre, but saw nothing like it. It's common enough.

Any ideas? It looks like a nice evergreen to go in a rockery.

Type of Hebe perhaps?

From this distance, I wouldn't have thought it was heather at all. And it looks a bit sad and unloved, I feel; whose garden is it in?

I'm sure it's a hebe.

Thanks, it's not in a garden, it was planted in a border outside Halfords! A few weeks ago it had dinky white little flowers.

Hebes do go a bit leggy sometimes but I have some lovely ones in the garden. Now is the right time to take cuttings so get down to halfords again
