How to Grow Hebe ‘Wild Romance’

Position:
Prefers full sun to partial shade. For the richest foliage colour, plant in a sunny spot.

Soil:
Well-drained soil is essential. Tolerant of poor or sandy soil once established.

Watering:
Water regularly during the first season to establish a strong root system. After that, it is relatively drought-tolerant.

Pruning:
Minimal pruning required. Light trim in late spring can help shape if necessary, but it naturally holds a tidy form.

Hardiness:
Generally hardy in milder areas (down to around -5°C). In colder regions, provide some protection during harsh winters or grow in containers that can be moved to shelter.

Design Tips

• Pair with silver-leaved plants like Senecio ‘Angel Wings’ or Lavandula for contrast.

• Use in containers on patios, balconies, or entrances for year-round colour.

• Perfect for coastal gardens, thanks to its tolerance of wind and salt-laden air.

• Looks striking as part of a contemporary planting scheme with ornamental grasses and minimalist lines.
