Bobbi - Thank you! The plants must have been Hebes, though I only saw one
type, which seemed to grow everywhere, with pink to purple blooms. The
website has so many types, I might not have noticed those others if they
were around. One woman in Dublin at the B&B, who did not know its name,
said it would grow anywhere, from just a cutting. Now I will look and see
if any would grow in my climate.
