| Heliotropium arborescens ‘Alba’
The most fragrant Heliotrope! Aren’t we lucky that it acts as a perennial in temperate USDA zones 9 & 10. Strangely underused in gardens, it makes a fine bushy (to 3’x3’) groundcovering & trailing perennial for part sun to bright shade. Just pinch it back to maintain your desired form & deadhead. Blooms late Spring thru Fall with a continuous display of its lovely 3-4” curled clusters of white flowers so powerfully sweet vanilla scented. Much better than any store bought aromatherapy! Attractive emerald green oval shaped foliage. Side dress with compost in Spring & Summer for a boatload of blooms. Very nice trailing out of large containers. Tolerates salt spray!
