Large clusters of cherry and vanilla scented flowers will entice bees, butterflies and bystanders to your garden this season. It is this unusual and mouth-watering perfume which gives heliotrope its other name – the ‘Cherry Pie plant’! Our Heartwarming Heliotropium Collection is a group of outstanding, albeit tender, perennials that produce clouds of pleasant perfume along with sensational blooms and dark green, intriguingly textured foliage. Plants are often grown as annuals and will fill your garden all summer long. Heliotrope makes an ideal container plant, allowing you to move it around to suit your needs and making winter protection even easier to boot. Prefer moist, well-drained soil in sun or part-shade. H&S: 30-40cm. Collection comprises: arborescens Power Blue; arborescens Nautilus White; and arborescens Nautilus Blue.
