 Hebes cope with most soil types, and can be propagated easily from both seed and cuttings.Wild "Hebe" hybrids are uncommon; however, there are many cultivated hybrids, such as "Hebe × franciscana".The Hebe Society, formed in 1985 under the auspices of the Royal Horticultural Society, promotes the cultivation and conservation of hebes and other New Zealand native plants.
