- Part of the Red Wine Collection of hebes, so called because of the colour of their foliage, Hebe Ruby Port is a beautiful new variety of hebe
- It's a compact evergreen plant which is easy to maintain, and is ideal for the smaller garden or anyone new to gardening
- The dark purple-green leaves are purple on the reverse and become intensely coloured in winter, just like a good red wine
- Throughout the summer short spikes of starry violet flowers are freely produced, providing a superb contrast against the foliage
- As the flowers are a great source of nectar for bees and butterflies, plant this hebe if you want to get your garden buzzing with pollinators
