Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hebe thrives, plant it in a location that receives full sun or partial shade. Ensure the soil is fertile and, most importantly, well-drained; these plants dislike sitting in waterlogged ground. If planting in a container, use a high-quality potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Watering is crucial during the first season and throughout dry summer spells, especially for containerized plants that dry out faster than those in the ground. During winter, if you live in a region with extreme cold, move the container to a sheltered porch or wrap it with horticultural fleece to prevent frost damage to the roots and leaves.
