A Summer is the time to take semi-ripe cuttings from shrubs such as Ceanothus, Cistus, Escallonia, Hebes, Lavender, Philedelphus and Potentilla. |
Vegetation is sparse above 1700 m, though various species of vegetable sheep thrive, and South Island edelweiss, gentians and hebes grow in sheltered spots. |
Various groups of Americans have survived being called dagoes, frogs, kikes, Polacks, wops, guineas, injuns, square heads, spics, hebes, or whatever. |
Euphorbias, Fatsia japonica, Cordylines, Cornus, Hebes and Japanese Maples, Robinias are good examples to use. |
Laurence and Aunt March shrugged and smiled at one another when water, lemonade, and coffee were found to be to only sorts of nectar which the three Hebes carried around. |
We found the netting, and added a cluster of potted hebes and one further laurel to our plant collection, along with three huge plastic sacks of compost and mulch. |
