What’s this plant with glossy leaves and violet flowers?
What is this shrub with violet flowers and green glossy long oval leaves? I’ve never seen such bush before. It’s quite spectacular in bloom with many beautiful violet flowers. Saw it in Europe. I want to know the name of this plant to grow it in my garden. Please, help me to identify it. Thanks a lot.

Hebes are grown in many gardens and public areas. Hebes are valued in gardens in temperate climates as evergreen shrubs with decorative leaves and blue, purple, pink or white flowers, which appear throughout spring, summer and autumn. Hebes are often grown as hedges.
