Hebe Veronica

Hebe is the largest genus of plants in New Zealand (90 species in total), with research showing that an ancestor to the Hebe genus first arrived in New Zealand in the geological times, approximately 5 million years ago. The name Hebe comes from the Greek Goddess of youth, meaning the goddess of young people not the goddess of delaying the aging process!

The Hebe genus, commonly referred to as Veronica, is so well regarded their is a society in its honour. The Hebe Society promotes the cultivation and conservation of hebes and other New Zealand native plants. It is affiliated with the RHS and even distributes a quarterly magazine 'Hebe News'.
