Flower Specifications
Season: Perennial USDA Zones: 9 - 10
Height: 10 inches
Bloom Season: Summer and fall
Bloom Color: Blue
Environment: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Type: Moist, well-drained, pH 6.6 - 7.3 They don't do well in heavy clay. They appreciate rich, loamy soil and even moisture, particularly if planted in containers.


Planting Directions
Temperature: 60 - 65F
Average Germ Time: 14 -21 days
Light Required: No
Depth: 1/4 inch
Sowing Rate: 3 - 4 seeds per plant
Moisture: Keep seed moist until germination
Plant Spacing: 12 inches

Start seeds indoors using regular potting soil ten to twelve weeks before the last spring frost date for your area, allowing for 28 to 42 days for germination. They'll also need temperatures of 70-75 F. (21-24 C.) to germinate. Transplant your seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 60 F. (16 C.). Propagation by cuttings is the preferred method to grow heliotrope plants that are true to the parent plant's color and scent. They also provide sturdier seedlings to set out in the spring. The best time to take cuttings is in late summer when the plants sometimes become leggy. Pinching them back both makes for a bushier plant and creates cuttings for propagation.
