Hebe Peter Chapple

In our garden with heavy soil and a humid climate, they only have a place in the scree garden, gravel garden or sloping bank. Environments that provide them with a rich but always well-drained soil. From their origins, they have retained a certain sensitivity to extreme cold. In colder regions, it is necessary to protect them or cultivate them in pots, bringing them indoors during freezing periods. When they grow, a light pruning with hedge shears can be useful to maintain a dense and compact habit.
