It looks like a hebe to me.

ValBiro · 09/06/2022 18:43

Came on to say Hebe too!

MintyMoocow · 09/06/2022 18:44

Yep, a hebe

Hadalifeonce · 09/06/2022 18:45

Ceanothus
Not sure of the spelling

Hadalifeonce · 09/06/2022 18:45

Sorry wrong...agree with hebe

It has very small leaves, are there different varieties?

I have a hebe and leaves are different!

It could be an Australian Mint Bush, Prostanthera. It's hard to tell without a close up of the leaves.

There are many different species and varieties of Hebe, ranging from small to shrubs 2m high.

Top tip! Download Google to your phone. In the search bar click on camera and take a photo. It will name the plant and give links to it.

But remember to follow the links - all plant apps are capable of making mistakes as all they’re doing is picture matching. It’s up to you to assess whether their answer is correct

Sorry, I disappeared. It looks like a Hebe albicans of some sort. Maybe Red Edge?
