How to grow Hebe pinguifolia in NZ

To grow Hebe pinguifolia in New Zealand, plant it in full sun or light shade with well drained soil. This compact, hardy shrub thrives in open, exposed sites and tolerates dry and coastal conditions once established. Water regularly during the first year to promote root development, then reduce watering as it becomes drought tolerant. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh growth. Ideal for borders, rock gardens, and low maintenance native plantings.

Hebe pinguifolia care tips

Plant in full sun or partial shade with free-draining soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots, then reduce watering as the plant becomes drought tolerant. Lightly trim after flowering to maintain its compact shape and promote new growth. Avoid heavy or poorly drained soils, especially in winter. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub is ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, and exposed sites.

Plant Size and Spacing

Hebe pinguifolia typically grows 30 to 60 centimetres tall and spreads up to 90 centimetres wide, forming a low, compact mound. For best results, space plants 50 to 70 centimetres apart to allow complete coverage and good airflow. This spacing is ideal for borders, ground cover, and mass planting in exposed or coastal areas.
