Hebe addenda® mix

Overview and Features

Hebe addenda® Mix refers to a group of compact, ornamental Hebe cultivars developed under the Addenda® brand for strong garden performance, neat growth habits, and extended flowering seasons. This mix often includes a blend of green- or variegated-leaved Hebes, blooming in shades of purple, pink, lilac, or white, and selected for consistency and reliability in both container and landscape use.

Hebes in this mix are valued for their ability to provide year-round structure, summer to early autumn blooms, and pollinator support in garden borders, pots, and urban landscapes.

• Grows approx. 30–60 cm tall and wide, depending on variety

• Evergreen or semi-evergreen depending on climate

• Flowers from May to September

• Compact, bushy habit—ideal for low maintenance gardening

• Excellent in pots, front-of-border planting, or balconies

Growing Conditions and Maintenance

Hebe addenda® varieties are known for their easy-going nature and adaptability to varied conditions, as long as their core needs are met.

• Light Requirements:

  • Best performance in full sun to light partial shade

  • In shade, flowering may reduce and growth can become leggy

• Soil Preferences:

  • Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil

  • Suitable for neutral to slightly alkaline soils

  • Avoid heavy, waterlogged conditions—especially in winter

• Watering:

  • Water regularly in the first growing season

  • Once established, water during prolonged dry spells

  • In containers, ensure consistent moisture but avoid overwatering

• Feeding:

  • Feed lightly in spring with a balanced fertiliser

  • Container plants benefit from a liquid feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season

• Pruning:

  • Lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape

  • Remove dead, damaged, or leggy stems in early spring

  • Do not cut into old wood, as regrowth may be slow or fail

Garden Uses and Design Applications

Hebe addenda® Mix shines in both ornamental planting schemes and practical roles, offering texture, colour, and low-maintenance structure across seasons.

• Best Uses:

  • Containers and window boxes for year-round presence

  • Front-of-border planting or edging in sunny beds
