Hebe 'Violet Cushion'

How to grow Hebe 'Violet Cushion' in NZ

Hebe 'Violet Cushion' grows best in full sun or partial shade and prefers fertile, free draining soil. Choose an open position with good air movement and avoid ground that remains excessively wet during winter. Plant into well prepared soil and water regularly while the root system establishes. Once established, provide additional moisture during prolonged dry periods. Apply a general garden fertiliser during spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Mulching around the root zone helps conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds. Good light encourages dense foliage and a strong floral display.

Hebe 'Violet Cushion' care tips

Hebe 'Violet Cushion' is relatively easy to maintain once established. Water during prolonged dry periods, particularly while plants are young, but avoid consistently wet soil. Feed during spring with a general garden fertiliser to support healthy foliage and abundant flowering. Lightly trim after flowering to maintain the compact shape and encourage fresh growth. Remove damaged, congested, or poorly positioned stems when required, but avoid cutting heavily into old bare wood. Mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds while keeping the mulch clear of the main stems.
