The ideal conditions for growing heliotrope are a full sun location, and organically-rich, well-draining soil. The soil pH should be between 6.6 and 7.3. And while it loves to bask in the rays, in regions with intense summer heat, it not only tolerates a little light afternoon shade, it benefits from this protection.
Where is heliotrope native to?
Heliotropium arborescens, commonly called heliotrope, is native to Peru. It is a tender perennial shrub that grows 2-6' tall in its native habitat.
Where do heliotrope flowers grow?
Heliotrope can grow as a perennial in USDA Zones 10 and 11, but even there it is best grown as an annual because with time it begins to straggle. At the end of summer, you can take cuttings of heliotrope to grow in a sunny window for the winter and transplant back to the garden in spring.
