Hebe speciosa
''Hebe speciosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family known by the common names New Zealand hebe, showy hebe, and showy-speedwell. It is native to New Zealand but it can be found in other parts of the world where it is grown as an ornamental for its showy flowers. This hebe is a shrub reaching heights between one and two meters. Its evergreen leaves are dark green, shiny, and quite thick, usually measuring 2 to 5 centimeters long. The inflorescence is up to 8 centimeters long and densely packed with pale pink to bright magenta flowers. Each flower is just under a centimeter wide and has a short throat spreading into a four-lobed corolla. Two very long stamens protrude from the throat of each flower, giving the inflorescence a whiskery look. The fruit is a capsule containing flat, smooth seeds.
== In Cultivation ==
''Hebe speciosa'', its many cultivars and hybrids are very popular garden plants in area with suitably mild temperate climates. Many can even be grown outdoors in sheltered parts of southern Britain. They appeal because of their lush evergreen foliage, showy flowerheads, long blooming season and ease of cultivation. Popular cultivars include the purple-flowered 'Alicia Amherst' and deep pink 'Simon Deleaux'. Hybrids includes cultivars of ''Hebe × andersonii'' (''Hebe salicifolia'' × ''Hebe speciosa''), especially the variegated 'Andersonii'; and ''Hebe × franciscana'' (''Hebe elliptica'' × ''Hebe speciosa'') cultivars such as 'Blue Gem' and 'Waireka'.
New Zealand Landcare Research currently (December 2013) considers that all forms of ''Hebe'' and ''Parahebe'' should be returned to the genus in which they were originally classified: ''Veronica''. This appeared to be gaining general acceptance but recent research is indicating that divisions such as ''Hebe'', ''Parahebe'', ''Chionohebe'', ''Leonohebe'' and ''Derwentia'' should be retained.
