Hebe requires little care, but regular pruning after flowering promotes compact growth and abundant flowering the following season. Ensure well-drained soil and avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. Moderate watering is essential during dry periods, especially for young plants. Hebe is reasonably hardy, but protection from severe frost is recommended in colder climates.
