Heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens), commonly known as cherry pie plant, is a fragrant annual valued for its clusters of small, violet, purple, or white flowers and sweet vanilla‑like scent. It produces a compact, mounding habit with dark green foliage, making it ideal for borders, containers, and garden beds where both fragrance and color are desired. Heliotrope attracts pollinators such as butterflies and bees throughout the growing season.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist; avoid letting it dry completely
• Pruning: Pinch back regularly to encourage bushier growth and remove spent flowers
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to maintain flowering
