Why does my hebe not flower

I just came in from replanting and watering them. Without loosening the matted roots! I'm off to a muddy replant now! Thanks Spruce At least it will look pretty even if the intention of being food for my bees and butterflies may fail. They'll have to feed on something else - there's quite a menu elsewhere in the garden so not a complete disaster regards Gavin.

Palustris , Jan 17, , in forum: Computer Corner. Destroy the affected plants and replace the soil with fresh, nutrient soil. Plant a new plant in better soil conditions. Sometimes people see brown spots on Hebe leaves. People call this disease Septoria Leaf Spot disease officially. Small brown spots are seen on the leaves. To treat: Treat the affected plant with a general-purpose fungicide as soon as you see the symptoms.

Apply twice or thrice in a year. Two applications at fortnightly intervals are recommended. Too much sunlight can scorch the leaves. Leaves become brown and crunchy. This happens especially in the summer season. If the browning is only on one side, it is probably sunburn. Shade the plant with a shade cloth during the warmer times of the day. Not only overwatering, underwatering can cause browning of the leaves too.

Check the soil near the roots with a stick or fingers. If the root ball goes dry, roots can not absorb nutrients anymore. Thanks Bamboo I don't know the variety as I got it from a local shop. It is in the ground with other plants that are doing well. It is west facing and gets sun for a good part of the day, similar to one I had in my last flat, which did flower year after year. I have not fed it. Thanks Bamboo Hope you get this. I have not used this site before and think I replied to you in the wrong place.

I don't know the name of the hebe as it was bought in a local shop. It is kept in the ground in a west facing direction along with other plants, all doing well. I had a similar hebe in my old flat and it flowered year after year. Hi Joan. Some hebes don't flower at all, and some only flower occasionally. If you could upload a photo, it might help. Alternatively, contact the Hebe Society.

The trouble is, there are many new hybrids of Hebe, and these are often sold at non gardening outlets when they're in flower. Many of them are actually tender, and if the last two winters had been proper winters, if yours was one of those types it might even have died, never mind not flowered.
