PLANT OF THE WEEK

HELIOTROPE

Meanwhile, over at Kew Gardens, London, there was no shortage of colour either. I loved this electric violet-blue strip of Heliotropium arborescens. The small sweetly smelling flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies, and the compact form of this plant make it ideal for bedding or containers. Grow this half hardy in a sunny spot in well-drained soil.
