🌿 Hebe andersonii Care Tips

Hebe andersonii is an attractive evergreen shrub known for its dense, glossy foliage and vibrant flower spikes, typically in shades of purple, pink, or lavender. It’s a compact, bushy plant that’s perfect for borders, containers, or rock gardens, offering year-round interest and seasonal blooms.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in full sun to partial shade.

• More sun = more blooms and tighter growth.

• Tolerates light shade, but may become leggy or flower less.

💧 Watering

• Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots.

• Once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant.

• Allow the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil to dry before watering again.

• Avoid waterlogged soil, especially in winter.

🌱 Soil

• Prefers well-draining soil, slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–7.5).

• Does well in loamy or sandy soils.

• Ensure good drainage—wet feet can lead to root rot.

💦 Humidity

• Tolerates normal outdoor humidity.

• Good air circulation helps prevent mildew in humid conditions.

🌡️ Temperature

• Hardy in mild climates—tolerates down to -5°C (23°F), but may need protection from frost.

• In tropical climates, treat as a cool-weather ornamental or grow in containers.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Light feeders—apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring.

• Avoid high nitrogen, which promotes leafy growth over flowers.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape.

• Remove dead or damaged wood to keep the plant healthy.

• Avoid hard pruning into old wood—it may not regrow.

🌸 Styling Tip:

Use as a low hedge, mixed border shrub, or patio container feature. Looks stunning when planted in masses or paired with lavender, rosemary, or grasses for a Mediterranean feel.
