Choose a site with good airflow and improve the soil with compost before planting if needed. Water regularly during establishment then reduce watering once plants are settled.

Hebe chathamica care tips

Hebe chathamica is easy to care for once established. Water during extended dry periods to maintain healthy foliage and flowering. Light trimming after flowering helps maintain a compact shape and encourages bushy growth. Apply mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds while keeping it clear of the stems. Feeding in spring can support growth.

Hebe chathamica size, spacing, and growth rate

Hebe chathamica typically grows to around 50 to 80 cm tall and spreads about 60 to 90 cm wide. Growth is moderate and plants develop into dense rounded shrubs. When planting several plants allow around 50 to 60 cm between them so they have space to develop fully and maintain airflow.
