In this way, how do you look after Hebes?
Hebe likes a sunny spot in the garden and can tolerate full sun (but will also happily thrive in partial shade) Ensure water can always drain away – the Hebe doesn't like sitting in puddles of water. When your Hebe is flowering (Summer-Autumn), give it a water with plant food in once a fortnight.
One may also ask, what do you feed Hebes? Incorporate some soil improver, an organic feed such as blood fish and bone meal can also be incorporated – make sure this is well mixed in. Fill in the gaps around the plant taking care not to leave any air gaps, without burying any leaves.
Beside above, how do you prune a Hebe?
General Pruning Instructions
- Remove any dead or frost damaged stems or branches in spring or as they appear. Wait until a bud forms and cut back to the bud.
- Lightly prune hebe plants in spring to maintain shape.
- 'Deadhead' or removing spent flower heads will help prolong flowering and maintain appearance.
Should I cut back Hebe?
Hebes generally need little pruning, but if they get leggy they can be cut back hard to reshape them (this is also worth a go if flower production is poor). The best time to prune them is when the winter starts to lose its grip, but before new growth appears in spring.
