March 20, 2016Q.fertilizer for hebe plants
What kind of fertilizer should I give my hebe plants? They are only a year or two old. Since they are still called young plants, can I give them a fertilizer I use for roses or 16-16-16?

March 21, 2016A.Although the shrub doesn’t need much in the way of fertilizer, you can apply some once a year in late winter or early spring prior to new growth. If you do use fertilizer, choose one for acid-loving plants (like azalea, gardenia, etc.).

September 28, 2016A.You can winter over your Hebe plant outdoors since it is hardy down to zone 4. If you bring indoors you will need a southern sun exposure and will likely need to add a grow light.

October 5, 2016A.Frost damaged or winter damaged plants can be trimmed in the early spring.
After flowering is the best time to shape and and thicken the plant.
A few inches can be removed on smaller varieties and up to 6 to 10 inches for larger plants.

CO15 3JA EssexQ.my hebe tree and surrounding plants are covered with a seriously sticky substance. Any ideas?
the leaves on my tree, the flowers and leaves in pots near the tree and quite a large area surrounding them are covered in a very sticky substance which is making the leaves curl up and die. On the back of some of the leaves are masses of, which looks like, eggs, very minute, and some strange bugs about 15mm long. Like small caterpillars. Can you suggest a way of getting rid of it, and indeed what it is?

July 7, 2018A.Sounds like you have an Aphid infestation. The sticky substance is called Honeydew.
