Hebe addenda® green mix

Overview and Features

Hebe addenda® Green Mix refers to a selection of compact, evergreen Hebe cultivars developed for consistent garden performance, reliable flowering, and neat form. This mix often includes various green-leaved Hebes from the Addenda® brand, selected for their vigorous habit, flowering reliability, and attractive foliage, typically in green or slightly glossy tones.

These varieties are ideal for pots, front-of-border planting, or mixed evergreen displays, often flowering in late spring through summer, with some cultivars continuing into early autumn. Many Hebes in the mix offer spikes of purple, lilac, pink, or white blooms, highly attractive to pollinators.

• Grows approx. 30–60 cm tall and wide

Growing Conditions and Maintenance

  • Prefers full sun to light partial shade

  • Best flowering and growth in bright, sunny spots

• Soil Preferences:

  • Grow in well-drained soil, neutral to slightly alkaline

  • Suitable for containers with multi-purpose compost mixed with grit

• Watering:

  • Water regularly in the first growing season to establish

  • Drought-tolerant once established, but water during prolonged dry spells

  • Ensure pots don’t dry out in summer or become waterlogged in winter

• Feeding:

  • Feed lightly with a balanced fertiliser in spring

  • Top-dress container plants annually with fresh compost

• Pruning:

  • Lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape

  • Remove any dead or woody stems in early spring

  • Avoid heavy pruning into old wood—it may not regrow
