The White Heliotrope is a very popular annual for its small white flowers grouped in fragrant clusters. The flowers release a sweet scent often described as vanilla-like, very pleasant near terraces and relaxation areas.
The dark green foliage enhances the bloom and forms a compact and well-branched plant, ideal for planters, pots, and flowerbeds. Flowering is continuous from early summer until frost.
This plant is particularly valued for its fragrance and its ability to attract pollinating insects.
