Growing Tips: These vintage, deep lavender flowers are making a comeback in the American garden. Heliotrope Marine tosses a delicious fragrance of cherries into the sultry summer air. I planted mine along the walkway to my house and enjoyed their fragrance every day. The clusters of purple flowers spread 12 to 18 inches tall and wide blooming profusely all summer. Heliotrope Marine is a tropical plant so loves the summer heat but is sensitive to cold temperatures. The University of Minnesota lists Heliotrope as a deer resistant plant.
