Hebe speciosa is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family known by the common names New Zealand hebe, showy hebe, showy-speedwell, and the Maori names Titirangi and Napuka. 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.
