About Hebe

Hebe (Hebe spp.) is an evergreen New Zealand shrub producing spikes of white, pink, or purple flowers in spring and summer, valued for its neat foliage and compact form. It is marginally suitable for NE Florida zone 9b — cold-hardy enough to overwinter but challenged by Florida's intense summer heat and humidity; site in a well-drained location with afternoon shade and excellent airflow. Starting at $24.95.

Care essentials

Light

Hebe grows best in full sun to part shade with good air circulation. In NE Florida's intense summer heat, afternoon shade is beneficial; select a site with morning sun and filtered afternoon light to reduce heat stress.

Water

Water regularly but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings; excellent drainage is critical as Hebe is prone to root rot in Florida's wet summers. Use mulch to moderate soil moisture and temperature around the root zone.

Soil & Fertilizer

Plant in moist, well-drained loam or sandy loam amended with compost. Hebe is a cool-climate New Zealand native that is marginal in NE Florida zone 9b — it tolerates the winters but struggles with summer heat and humidity. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain compact form; avoid heavy fertilization.
