Hebes are versatile evergreen shrubs known for their attractive foliage and beautiful blooms, making them a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.

Hebes come in a variety of sizes, with heights ranging from 30 centimeters to over 2 meters, depending on the species and variety. They typically flower from late spring to early summer, producing clusters of colorful flowers that range from white and pink to purple and blue, depending on the cultivar.

For optimal growth, plant your Hebe in a sunny to partially shaded position with well-drained soil. They thrive in areas with moderate sunlight, making them suitable for borders, rockeries, or containers.

Spring or early summer is the best time to plant Hebes, allowing them to establish before their flowering period. Ensure the soil is kept consistently moist during their growth and flowering season to encourage healthy blooms.

Hebes generally do not require feeding, as they are capable of thriving in nutrient-poor soils. However, adding a balanced fertilizer in spring may promote more robust growth and flowering.

Hebes are excellent for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects with their abundant nectar and pollen-rich flowers. By planting Hebes in your garden, you’re not only adding beauty but also providing essential food sources for pollinating insects, contributing to biodiversity and ecosystem health.
