This is a more typical example of Sophora godleyi than my earlier photo. It is less than three years old from seed at the time the photo was taken.

Submitted by Martin Nicholls

Hebe macrocarpa var. latisepala. Not Hebe macrocarpa var. macrocarpa, but probably the purest blue of any Hebe apart from H. benthamii. Enjoys partial shade and has a very upright manner of growth. Enjoys a well-drained, most soil and comes true from seed.
