- Position: bright but indirect light
- Soil: these plants do not need to grow in compost, but if potting up, use a specialist orchid compost
- Rate of growth: average
- Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
- Current height: plant approximately 55 cm
- Home care:Keep the compost moist during the warmer months, but in winter you should reduce the amount it gets, and only water them occasionally. Ideally when watering, you should let them stand in a tray of water (or kitchen sink) so they can soak up as much as they like for an hour or two. Afterwards, let the excess water drain away completely. It is always best to give them a a good soak when they get quite dry, rather than watering little and often. Their preference is for soft, tepid water. They love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room. Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot, in their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being overcrowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer. They usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering.

Hydrangea macrophylla Runaway Bride is a compact, small to medium-sized, vigorous, deciduous shrub, extremely floriferous, with a rounded habit and semi-trailing stems. Unusually for a hydrangea, it flowers all the way along the stems instead of just at the tips, giving it the name of Garland Hydrangea. The ovate, serrated leaves are deep green. From May to September, the shrub is covered with a profusion of pure white lace-cap flowers, often with a pale pink flush as they age; the colour is constant whatever the pH of your soil. Hydrangea Runaway Bride is excellent in large containers along a house-frontage, as well as in a border. Soil: Any moist but well-drained soil, acid to neutral preferred Position: Partial shade Season of interest: Late spring to early autumn Hardiness: Fully hardy Height: 4’ (1.2m) Spread: 4’ (1.2m) -

Hebe (Evergreen Veronica) is an easy to grow flowering evergreen shrub native to New Zealand and South America. Hebe plants come in many sizes ranging from dwarf shrubs, suitable for planting in patio pots and rockeries, to large hebe plants that are perfect for planting in a large garden. Many varieties of Hebe flower throughout summer and autumn - some varieties of Hebe flower during the winter. Although mostly hardy, a cold English winter can kill some types of Hebe plants. Hebes especially need to be protected from strong winds. The variegated-leafed Hebes seem to be amongst those most affected by cold winds and wintery weather. Hebes are easy to propagate from cuttings.FLOWERS ON A HEBE PLANT
The flowers on a Hebe shrub are small and grouped together in spikes. The colours of Hebe flowers range from white through pink, blue, lilac and purple to bright crimsons.
FOLIAGE
The leaves provide attractive year round foliage with different colours including silver and green, grey, violet, burgundy, bronze and red.BUTTERFLIES
This delightful shrub has flowers which will attract butterflies and bees to your garden.WHERE TO PLANT A HEBE SHRUB
A Hebe is a good all year round foliage plant. Its flowers can provide colour throughout all growing seasons. Grown in mixed plantings of summer annuals the flowers of a Hebe add to the floral display whilst the shape and form of the bush give a sense of stability. Hebe can be grown as an informal hedge - but if clipped back too hard it will not produce so many flowers. The smaller hebes make good ground cover plants or add interest to a rockery. A Hebe should be planted in a well drained soil and, if possible, in a position protected from wind.HOW TO PLANT A HEBE
- Before planting a Hebe soak the roots in water
- Dig a hole twice as wide as the container that the Hebe is in.
- Add a spadeful of compost and some general purpose fertiliser to the soil taken from the hole that you have dug.
- Remove the plant from the pot - tap the sides and base of the container to release the Hebe.
- Place the hebe plant into the hole.
- Fill in the space around the plant with the soil and compost mixture and gently firm with your fingers or tread in.
- Water in with plenty of water.
- Mulch around the base of the plant to help to conserve moisture.
