Description
Hebe 'Raspberry Ripple' is a particularly floriferous hybrid shrubby veronica, relatively hardy and easy to grow in regions where winter is not too harsh. This variety naturally forms a beautiful evergreen, compact and dense cushion, adorned with red young shoots and leaves of a beautiful glossy dark green, and disappears in summer under numerous raspberry pink flowers, white at the base. The plant is disease-resistant, not demanding on the nature of the soil and water-efficient once established in the garden. It is also an excellent plant for the terrace
Hebe 'Raspberry Ripple' is a fairly recent Irish cultivar, distinguished by its compact habit and ease of cultivation in temperate to mild climates. Like all Hebes, it belongs to the family of Plantaginaceae and is related to perennial veronicas. It forms a small regular and rounded bush of 50 cm (19.7 in) in all directions. Its stems, which lignify with age, bear thin elliptical leaves, small in size, thick and leathery, of a shiny dark green colour. Flowering begins in June and ends in September, in the form of simple lateral inflorescences resembling thin and long spikes of 5 cm (2 in). Each cluster has a powdery appearance, due to the long stamens that protrude from a multitude of small white flowers at the base of the inflorescence, dark pink to its tip. Pruning after flowering is recommended to maintain a compact habit and a neat appearance for this shrubby veronica.
Of relatively slow growth, and relatively hardy (down to -12°C (10.4 °F) for 'Raspberry Ripple'), Hebes are generally offered alongside perennial plants because their use is closer to these than to shrubs. The 'Raspberry Ripple' variety, on the other hand, has a naturally compact and dense development that is well suited for ornamenting terraces and balconies, mixed with e.g. heathers or creeping rosemary. In favourable climates it can create neat and flowering borders throughout the summer. In cold regions Hebes can be grown in large pots on the terrace, to be stored in a bright and unheated room during winter.

Planting and care
The 'Raspberry Ripple' Hebe is preferably planted in spring in a cool climate, or in October in warmer regions. It prefers a sunny site and well-drained, even sandy, soils that are sufficiently deep and well cultivated. This plant tolerates sea spray and dry soils in summer once it is well established. In gardens with heavy soil and a wet climate, Hebes will only have a place in rockeries, gravel gardens, or on sloping banks i.e. environments that provide them with a rich but always perfectly drained soil. In colder regions, it is necessary to protect them or cultivate them in pots, bringing them indoors during freezing periods. As they grow, pruning with shears can be useful to maintain a dense and compact habit and a tidy appearance.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
