Auckland Botanic Garden reports their hebes flowering in late winter.

CARE :  Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Prune tips while young to encourage dense growth and fertilise in early spring and every other month through summer. Lightly prune all over each year after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth - hebes don't like hard pruning.
