Notes

'Incense' common heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens 'Incense') is an annual. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The fragrant, spreading plant attracts butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Cape leadwort, Wizard of Oz dahlia, and Black bamboo.
