Popular Varieties of Hebe

With hundreds of species and cultivars, there’s a hebe New Zealand plant for every garden style. Here are some favourites you’ll find in our collection:

Growing and Caring for Hebe in New Zealand

The hebe New Zealand plant is renowned for its adaptability and toughness. They thrive in a range of soils, provided there’s good drainage, and love a sunny or partly shaded position. Minimal pruning keeps your hebe neat and encourages bushier growth, while a light feed in spring sets the stage for vibrant flowering. Hebes also attract pollinators and bird life, making them a great ecological choice for native gardens.

Design Ideas with Hebe New Zealand Plant

From classic cottage gardens to formal landscapes, hebes bring texture, form, and colour. Use them en masse as hedging, dot them through mixed borders, or showcase a single stunning specimen in a pot near your front entrance. Many varieties pair beautifully with grasses, flaxes, and other Aotearoa natives, creating a landscape that celebrates our rich botanical heritage.
