Hebe andersonii v.18

Plant hebe although the shrub doesn’t need much in the way of fertilizer, you can apply some once a year in late winter or early spring prior to new growth. You can also trim hebe plants back about halfway after flowering to promote bushier growth. In areas with harsher winters, they should be protected by surrounding them with straw mulch. Plants are most suited for areas with cool summers and mild winters. They adapt to a variety of soil types but will perform best in loose, well-draining soil. They can be grown in both sun and shade, though full sun is preferable. Planting hebe in the garden should be at the same depth as the container they are growing in. Adding organic matter to the soil during planting will help promote healthy growth.
