Description

This half-hardy Annual Heliotrope ‘Dwarf Marine’ is ideal for patio, scented gardens and wildlife gardens with a flowering period in June, July, August and September. Sowing months are February, March and this requires full Sun. Once you’ve experienced the sweet, pungent scent, coming from Heliotrope, or ‘cherry pie’ as it is commonly called, on a still summer evening you won’t want to be without it. Few plants can fill the air with such a heady fragrance as this. Marine is a royal purple, large flowered yet compact form with attractive, dark green foliage and bushy habit. Excellent for beds, borders and as a summer flowering pot plant. Flowers summer. Height 45cm (18in).
