Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade in a sheltered location. Hebes perform best in well-drained soil and appreciate protection from cold, drying winds in exposed gardens.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, plants generally require additional watering only during prolonged dry periods.
Soil
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged ground, particularly during winter.
Pruning
Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth. Avoid pruning into old, leafless wood.
