Hebe Donna is a small, bushy plant that produces lots of colorful flowers that are 5 to 7 cm long. It's perfect for adding a splash of color to your garden, patio, or balcony, and it flowers from summer right into autumn. Hebe Donna can be planted in the ground or in a pot, and it’s great at attracting butterflies and bees because of the sweet nectar in its flowers.
Hebe is an evergreen plant, meaning it stays green all year round, and it can handle cooler weather down to -3°C. There are many varieties, colors, and sizes of Hebe, so it’s easy to find one that fits your style, whether you like a modern look or a more classic garden feel.
It needs plenty of water to keep growing. If it’s planted in the ground, you won’t need to water it as often because it can draw moisture from the soil. To keep it blooming all season, make sure to remove the dead flowers.
Hebe can grow to a height and width of about 10 to 50 cm, and it takes 5 to 10 years to reach its full size. It grows well in a range of soils, as long as they are well-drained and slightly moist. It prefers full sunlight or partial shade, and it likes to be in a sheltered spot, protected from strong winds.
Hebe plants are quite hardy and can survive in many parts of the UK, even during cold winters. However, in very severe winters, it may need some protection. You can easily grow new Hebe plants by taking cuttings in late summer or autumn, but remember this plant is protected by Plant Breeders' Rights, so you can only propagate it for personal use.
Hebe is a great low-maintenance plant for wildlife gardens, city spaces, or coastal areas. Just keep an eye out for pests like aphids and diseases such as mildew or root rot. Overall, Hebe is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add color and life to their garden!

OMG how beautiful :)
ReplyDelete...Hebe is a delightful group of plants that unfortunately aren't hardy enough to grow here.😢
ReplyDeleteOver the years we've had quite a few Hebe, they are good plants.
ReplyDeleteI like the colour of the one in your image.

This plant is just gorgeous. I wonder if it grows in my area or is available here. I'd love that in my yard.
ReplyDeleteI believe we had some Hebe growing in a window box once. I'd quite forgotten about it, I think it would be ideal outside our bedroom window. Thank you for sharing! xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms. I need to find out more about these plants and possibly find a place for them in my garden.
