Add item to quote to see pricing

Heliotropium arborescens is a landscape showstopper, also fondly known as the Common Heliotrope. As part of the enticing "Annuals & Perennials" range, this plant adds vivacity to your garden with its intensely vibrant sea of green foliage. The symphony of small, fragrant, lavender-blue bloom clusters showcases the plant's captivating beauty from summer to fall. The plant’s fragrance, akin to soothing vanilla, offers a sensory feast that not only visually enhances your garden but also creates an olfactory haven. With roots in Peru, the Common Heliotrope flourishes under the dance of sunlight or whisper of shade, presenting itself as a versatile jewel for any garden. However, beauty comes with caution – this plant is mildly toxic and demands a respect for its space away from pets and children. Standing tall at up to 4-ft in both height and spread, it flourishes best in rich, well-drained soil and regular watering. The Common Heliotrope doesn’t just grow, it flourishes, working its charm to transform any garden into a vibrant and enticing landscape.
