Growing Lady Ann Hebes

Suitable for any well-drained soil, they tolerate partial shade well. They're hardy across most of the UK, but in cold areas of the North and Scotland, they're best grown in pots that can be moved into shelter from dry winter winds. In other areas outside the South West, covering them during an extended period of frost or snow is recommended to prevent cosmetic damage, but not essential.

Hebes prefer poor soil, so do not add any of our rich composts to the soil before planting: sand would be better in most normal topsoils. In heavy clay soil, churn the ground over to add a bit of gravel & grit (not sand) to give their roots breathing space, likewise add grit to a planting mix for Hebes in pots.

They don't like being hard pruned, so give them a light trim in spring to keep them tight and bushy. If you need to tidy a stray stem, prune it back as little as possible, to a good-looking bud.

Garden Design Ideas

Bring out the purple of the new shoots of Hebe ‘Lady Ann’ with a pink and wine-coloured planting scheme, either in a mixed herbaceous border or a gravel garden. Combine it with the likes of Allium cristophii, Osteospermum jucundum and Sedum for a pretty, harmonious design. An underplanting of pink, purple and maroon tulips would be gorgeous too.
