Why Choose a Hebe Garden

Hebes are a quintessential part of New Zealand gardening, prized for their adaptability and array of forms. They suit garden beds, borders, rockeries, and container plantings, responding well to pruning and tolerating windy spots or poor soils. A hebe garden is ideal for anyone looking to create structure or soften hard landscaping with lush, evergreen leaves and long-lasting flowers. Plus, the nectar-rich blooms of hebes are magnets for bees and native birds, supporting a healthy garden ecosystem.

Best Hebe Varieties for Your Garden

Whether you’re after mounded shapes, glossy leaves, or unique-coloured blooms, there’s a hebe for every garden style. Some favourites to include in your hebe garden are:

Mixing several varieties ensures continuous flowering and a tapestry of textures throughout the year.

Hebe Garden Care and Design Tips

Hebes are delightfully easy to grow. Plant your hebe garden in a sunny to partly shaded spot with free-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment, then they’ll thrive on minimal irrigation. After flowering, lightly prune to shape and encourage bushiness.

For design impact, mass plant different varieties or use single specimens as focal points. Hebes pair beautifully with grasses, flaxes, and native groundcovers. Try underplanting your hebe garden with small perennials or mulching with fine bark to suppress weeds and maintain moisture.

Bring Your Hebe Garden to Life
