Can anyone identify this plant? I passed it today and think it would look great in my borders but I'm a bit of a novice and have no idea what it is.

Any help appreciated. image

    It is a Hebe, but not sure which one.

    He calls her the chocolate girl
    Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
    She knows she's the chocolate girl
    Cause she's broken up and swallowed
    And wrapped in bits of silver

    Could be hebe frozen flame. The purple bit is the new growth

    To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.
