General Information

Hebes are native to New Zealand and South America but are now widely grown across Europe for their resilience and decorative value.

• Habit: Compact, bushy evergreen shrubs with a naturally neat form.

• Height & spread: Typically 40–60cm tall and wide, though some varieties may grow larger.

• Foliage: Glossy, evergreen leaves in shades of green, often tinged with purple or bronze in colder months.

• Flowers: Dense spires of blooms in purple, pink, lilac, or white, appearing from late spring into autumn.

• Position: Prefer full sun or partial shade.

• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil is ideal; avoid waterlogged ground.

• Hardiness: Generally hardy, though protection may be needed in very cold or exposed locations.

• Uses: Perfect for containers, borders, low hedging, and mixed plantings.

• Wildlife value: Flowers are nectar-rich, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

The Addenda® range is bred specifically for European gardens, offering compact growth, prolonged flowering, and consistent quality.

Care Guide

Hebes are low-maintenance and easy to grow, thriving with just a little seasonal care.

Planting

• When to plant: Spring or autumn are best, though container plants can be planted year-round.

• Depth & spacing: Plant at the same depth as in the pot, spacing 40–50cm apart in borders.

• Preparation: Improve soil drainage with grit or sand if planting on heavy soils.

Watering & Feeding

• Water regularly during the first year to help establish roots.

• Once established, Hebes are moderately drought-tolerant but appreciate watering in prolonged dry periods.

• Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage strong growth and flowers. Container-grown plants benefit from fortnightly liquid feeds during summer.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact, bushy shape.

• Avoid cutting into old wood, as Hebes do not always regenerate from bare stems.

• Remove dead or damaged growth in spring.

• Mulch around the base annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Protection

• Hardy in most areas, but in very cold regions, provide some shelter or fleece protection during harsh winters.

• Container plants can be moved to a sheltered spot in winter.
