Baby hebes

hi I have several cuttings that I took from my hebe last year. They hava all rooted nicely but are growing straight up! I pinched out the growing tip of one and it promptly died... what should I be doing to encourage them to bush out?

    imagean idea of tha problem. Healthy cutting but not a "bushy habit" I'm really just not sure if this is normal or have I done something wrong.

    Hi Jacquim - the bigger leaved types tend to be less sturdy, so it might be that you simply took too much off your previous cuttings.

    I wouldn't worry about that one too much - it looks healthy, and seems to be branching out a bit at the top anyway.  Over time, it will probably spread a bit more by producing more sideshoots like those  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
