HOW TO GROW Heliotropium arborescens

When to Set Outside: 2 weeks after last springtime frost.

Placement & Cultivation

Heliotrope attracts pollinators, including Swallowtails and Monarchs, and enhances borders of summer annuals and patio containers with its sweet almond and vanilla fragrance. Pinch when setting out, use an even hand when watering, and deadhead for flowers until frost. Flowers well indoors in winter.
Final Spacing: 1'
Water Use: High Water Use
Watering Details: Water regularly—about 1" or so per week to keep evenly moist. More during especially dry periods or if growing in containers.
Soil pH: Acidic to neutral
Fertilizer: Mix in an organic granular fertilizer. Alternatively, fertilize regularly throughout the summer with a water-soluble liquid feed according to package instructions, typically once a month or so.
Diseases & Pests: No major pests or diseases. Spider mites and aphids may be an issue—hose down plants with a heavy stream of water regularly until the pest is gone.
When to Cut For Bouquets: 3/4-fully opened

Grows great in a pot. I'm overwintering mine under lights. It has been blooming all winter.
