    For what I know yes. But keep them inside during the winter. Once frozen the leaves die and falling off. They hardly recover in spring.

    There are plenty of hardy Hebes that stay evergreen in winter. I live in the North of England and have seen at least a dozen Hebe species that are evergreen in our winters.

    Never had one inside and I'm in central Scotland. image

    Some of the bigger ones are less hardy, as are the variegated ones so I don't bother with them. In some winters when there's prolonged cold and wet, some won't make it, but that's only when it's sub zero for a week or two after the usual weeks/months of rain.

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



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