Centred in New Zealand, the hebes are a group of more than 100 species and subspecies of medium-sized to dwarf evergreen shrubs with outstanding ornamental features, both of flower and of leaf. Over the decades, scores of attractive hybrids have been produced, greatly expanding the number of possible selections. The author provides a wealth of information about the native habitats, preferred growing conditions, cultivation and history of these plants, as well as an A-Z guide to all the known species and the most horticulturally valuable hybrids. For gardeners, growers and nurserymen.
