説明（英語）: Genus of approximately 100 species of evergreen shrubs, rarely trees, from a wide variety of habitats, ranging from rocky sites and cliffs to scrub and grassland; they are found from coastal areas to mountain regions, mainly in New Zealand, but also in S.E. Australia, New Guinea, and South America. The dense, opposite, sometimes 2- or 4-ranked leaves are scale-like to lance-shaped, rounded or ovate. Tubular flowers, expanding into 4 spreading lobes, are borne in terminal or axillary racemes, spikes, or small heads; they vary in colour from white to pink, blue, purple, or red. Most flowers range in size from 1-12mm (1/8-1/2in), and are described below as: small, 1-5mm (1/8-1/4in) across; medium, 6-8mm (1/4-3/8in) across; and large, 9-12mm (3/8-1/2in) across. Hebes are suitable for a wide range of sites, including a mixed or shrub border, or a rock garden. In mild areas, particularly on the coast, they are useful as hedging and ground cover. Grow the less hardy species in an alpine house or cool greenhouse. Hebes are also good container plants and will tolerate some pollution. Those with small, scale-like leaves lying flat against the stems are known as "whipcord hebes", and are excellent plants for growing in a rock garden.

耐寒性（英語）: Fully hardy to half hardy.

栽培（英語）:

繁殖（英語）: Sow seed in containers in a cold frame as soon as ripe; hebes hybridize freely. Root semi-ripe cuttings with bottom heat in late summer or autumn.

病害虫（英語）: Leaf spot, Phytophthora root rot, downy mildew, and aphids may be a problem.
