Heliotropium
curassavicum blooms Spring into Summer and may still be blooming into the
Fall in good conditions. The small white flowers of the Salt
Heliotrope with yellow centers may have hint of lavender or in selected
varieties rich purple flowers. The flower centers darken as they age. Heliotropium
curassavicum is native to much of the Americas and can often be found in
other parts of the world as well. The Salt Heliotrope requires
moisture but and will spread rather enthusiastically in wet sections of
the garden. Heliotropium curassavicum grows 1-2 feet tall and
sprawls as far as the moist ground permits. The plants will not
tolerate being submerged in a pond. The plants grow in full
sun to light shade.
