Hebes Plant Details
It might be easy to overlook this garden gem but the hebe plant is seriously underrated. This interesting evergreen shrub was named after the Greek goddess of youth. Hebe shrubs are versatile, thriving happily in many conditions and are super easy to maintain.
Some of the benefits of planting hebes are:
- Hebes are compact and low maintenance
- They’re generous with their flowers
- Butterflies find them charming
- The textures and colours of the leaves are interesting all year round
- They look fantastic in a container
- Hebes come in different sizes, many of which are perfect for small gardens.
- They work in any style of garden
Features of a Hebe Shrubs
Hebe shrubs range in size – some are small bushes that may grow to about 1 metre tall, and others are larger tree-like varieties that stand as tall as 2 metres.
There are also both large and small-leafed types. A hebe is evergreen but the foliage delights with additional colours of burgundy and bronze.
Hebes Natural Habitat
Hebes are found in many different habitats but the more common places that you would find them are grassland and on mountain slopes that deal with frost and wind. A few varieties are found in coastal lowland, and an even smaller variety live in forests.
In the wild, the hebe shrub can either be contained to a small area, or can be widespread. It’s obvious then that hebes are naturally found on the mountainsides and by the coasts of New Zealand.
Most hebes bloom in summer and last throughout autumn. Some of the varieties even flower in winter. The flowers look like spikes and come in a range of colours, from white, pink and crimson to blue and purple.
How to grow hebes
All you need to know about growing bee-friendly hebes, in our detailed Grow Guide.
Hebes are popular evergreen shrubs, mostly native to New Zealand although some are indigenous to Australia and South America. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are suitable for growing in a wide range of sites and planting schemes. Hebes are excellent in shrub borders, used as ground cover or low-growing hedging, and are relatively low-maintenance.
Hebes flower over a long period – all year round in mild regions – with flower colours including pink, blue and white. They can be an important late-year source of nectar and pollen for bumblebees. Leaf colour varies too, from dark green to pink and variegated. Less-hardy hebes can be grown in cool glasshouses or alpine houses.
How to Grow Hebes in Australia
Growing a hebe plant is actually quite easy. They are versatile so you can grow them in different ways. They can be grown as borders, in rock gardens or even in pots. Hebes are ideally suited for areas with cool summers and mild winters.
They adapt to a variety of soil types but first prize is loose, well-draining soil. They can be grown in both sun and shade, but full sun is their favourite.
Young plants should be potted up in spring and planting hebes in the garden should be at the same depth as the container they are growing in. Add compost or organic matter to the soil during planting to help promote healthy growth.
The hebe shrub doesn’t need a lot of care once established. You can apply fertiliser once a year in late winter or early spring before the new growth. Deadheading the dead flowers will promote more flowering, and trimming the plant back about halfway after flowering will promote bushier growth.
Hebes are usually propagated through seeds or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. If you’re in an area with harsh winters, you can protect the shrub by surrounding it with straw mulch.
Propagating Hebes
Hebe Propagation from a Cutting
It’s best to grow new hebes from semi-ripe cuttings. Semi-ripe means the cutting should be hard at the base but soft at the tip. You would usually find this type of cutting between the end of summer and in the middle of autumn.
You should only select shoots that are horizontal and they need to have good, short gaps between their leaves.
We’re going to share a basic method which is the easiest and produces good results.
