Hi GeorgeMB! Sadly Hebes aren't fully hardy, and the awful winter has taken its toll on many. I just had to cut some of my toughest ones right back almost to their bases. I'm hoping they will re-grow, but it takes time. Cut off the worst of the damage and hope for the best :) Karen

yes one of mine is looking similar. Down to the really cold Easterly winds we have had lately.
I have cut it back to about 12" tall and there are already signs of new growth after only 5 days.

welcome to GoY too :o)
