Perfect for garden beds, borders, or container planting, this easy-care shrub thrives in New Zealand’s climate. Its compact size makes it ideal for both small urban gardens and larger landscapes. Not only is it attractive to the human eye, but it’s also great for attracting bees and butterflies, adding life to your backyard ecosystem.

How to Grow and Care for Hebe Pretty in Pink

When looking for Hebe Pretty in Pink at Bunnings or local nurseries, you’ll want to ensure the plant gets a sunny to partly shaded position with well-draining soil. Hebes, including Pretty in Pink, are tolerant of dry conditions once established, making them perfect for low-maintenance gardens. Regular light pruning after flowering helps maintain their shape and encourages even more blooms next season.

Water freshly planted hebes regularly until established, then reduce watering as they become more drought-tolerant. Feed your hebe with a slow-release, general-purpose fertiliser in spring to ensure healthy growth.
