Bought about seven Hebe salicifolia plants from Ebay last autumn and
planted them in my garden in Glasgow. We've had a very hot april, but
the Hebes are not showing any signs of growing at all. The ebay
seller said they would grow vigorously. I'm wondering if it's because
they were sent up from the south of England and don't like the climate
here. Or could it be bad soil or position in the garden. Any ideas
to get them growing.
I'll answer my own question. A few days of heavy rain did the trick.

Hebes are great plants for anywhere in the border or in containers but one tip to give, they dont like hard pruning. Better to give a light prune to shape every year to stop them looking straggly.
