Maintenance:

To keep Hebe elliptica Variegata looking its best, follow these maintenance tips:

• Light requirements: Plant Hebe elliptica Variegata in a location that receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While it can tolerate partial shade, full sun exposure generally promotes better foliage variegation.
• Soil conditions: Provide well-draining soil that is enriched with organic matter. Ensure that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Adding mulch around the base of the shrub helps retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
• Watering: Water the plant regularly, especially during hot and dry periods. Aim for deep, thorough watering to encourage healthy root development. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the package instructions for application rates. This will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may lead to excessive vegetative growth.
• Pruning: Pruning is generally not required for Hebe elliptica Variegata. However, if necessary, lightly trim the plant after flowering to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may affect the overall appearance and flowering potential.
• Pest and disease control: Hebe elliptica Variegata is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for common garden pests, such as aphids or spider mites, and treat any infestations promptly using appropriate insecticides or organic pest control methods.
