A popular NZ native shrub with dense, dark green foliage and masses of vibrant purple flower spikes throughout summer. The nectar-rich blooms attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, making it a great addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

Ideal for borders, low hedging and containers. Trim after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage repeat flowering later in the season. Thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. Hardy. Evergreen.
