Gosh, Kell, that Hebe is outstanding. I think you should be able to keep your Hebe in your planter for at least three years if not longer. It responds well to pruning so that is good. You and I are in the same boat: our huge love for plants does not match the size of our yards. Well, how lucky are you that your hubby wants to take you to lunch! I'd say that is better than going to the nursery alone:-)

Thanks, Jackie! You guys should be proud of your lovely names. I've always liked the name Jackie. I like Hebes too. They are pretty, easy to take care of, and they don't try to take over the yard. The only down side to them that I can see is that the flowers turn brown and hang on after they are finished, and you have to cut them off to keep the plant looking nice.
