Hebe Wingletye

In our garden with heavy soil and a humid climate, they only have their place in the scree garden, gravel garden or sloping embankment. Environments that ensure them 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. As they grow, a light pruning with hedge shears can be useful to maintain a dense and compact habit. An excellent groundcover for a sunny scree garden, among which you can plant some botanical tulips such as Tulipa linifolia.
