About this item
- Heliotropium arborescens or simply Heliotrope, is a lovely plant with dark violet-blue blooms and rich green foliage. Heliotrope is prized for its wonderful vanilla scent. This variety, Extra Dwarf Marine, has a profusion of bloom clusters all summer long. Heliotrope is well-suited for containers and pots.
- This 10 inch perennial grows in USDA zones 9 - 10. Bees and butterflies will visit it often! Heliotrope can be a perennial in frost-free zones but is grown as an annual in most areas.
- The blooms are not only lovely, but they also have a spectacular vanilla scent! This Heliotropium Arborescens Marine Heliotrope has a compact form with broadly oval to lance-shaped, textured leaves tinged with purple. In summer, it bears a profusion of fragrant deep violet-blue flower heads up to 6 inches across.
- Sowing Rate: 3 - 4 seeds per plant. Start the seed indoors 6 – 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the seeds into the soil and cover with ¼ inch of soil. Keep the seed moist until germination. With temperatures of 60 – 65F, germination is normally within 21 days.
- Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed. Space the plants 12 inches apart. Pinch back the tops to encourage a bushier growth. Grow in full sun to partial shade and in moist, well-drained soil. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage prolonged flowering.

Heliotrope (Heliotropium Arborescens Extra Dwarf Marine)
The blooms of the Heliotrope are not only lovely, but they also have a spectacular vanilla scent! This Heliotropium Arborescens Marine Heliotrope has a compact form with broadly oval to lance-shaped, textured leaves tinged with purple. In summer, it bears a profusion of fragrant deep violet-blue flower heads up to 6 inches across.
Heliotrope is a cottage garden favorite, and through the years has been called Turnsole Plant, Cherry Pie Plant, Common Heliotrope, and Fragrant Heliotrope. Whatever name you call it, it is a delight to grow!
Heliotrope plants are a perennial in warmer climates but grown as an annual where it is not hardy. Its rich foliage and profuse blooms make it a great choice for summer bedding, containers or window boxes. A strong scent of vanilla floats through the garden, especially on summer evenings, making this tender perennial an excellent choice for containers or edgings in sunny borders.
