Sad looking hebes

 


Hi,

Please bear with me, i'm a very inexperienced gardener!

I have several different hebes in my garden, I'm unsure what varieties
they are
unfortunately, all I know is that some have varigated leaves
and others don't!
At the moment they are all looking rather sad and
almost dead! The leaves are
dead and falling off, but there does seem to
be some new growth appearing from
the very bottom of the shrubs. Is it
normal for hebes to appear so forlorn this
time of year, or is it due to
the harsh winter we had? I'm wondering if the
majority of the plant is
dead from frost damage? Can anyone advise me on how to
get my hebes
looking healthier for the summer? Should I cut them right back or
will
they pick up on their own?  I've read it is almost impossible to kill a
hebe, have I achieved the impossible?!

Thanks in advance,
Kez

That's your second untruth.


Your parents must have had high hopes for you to succeed in the
arts... you're not going to do well in business unless you change your
name.

Sheldon (aka brooklyn1) has never explained what he meant by that last
line.
