Hebes for cold climates
«

The genus
Hebe
has recently captured my attention, and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for species or hybrids which are very cold hardy. I am in zone 6B or slightly above, and have two species now in our garden:
Hebe odora
(syn.
Hebe buxifolia
), and
Hebe pinguifolia var. pagei
. Both species have been in the ground for about two years, and they bloomed for us this past summer. We would love to add a few whipcord form Hebes, along with some with flowers that aren't white. Does anyone have suggestions of species and/or hybrids which might reasonably be expected to survive here? I suspect I'll have to source seed for plants, as few nurseries in Atlantic Canada have any plants in stock.
