H&S: 30cm x 30cmFabulous when planted with trailing Nemesia, Verbena, and daisy-like Osteospermum together in a large container. Or plant several Heliotropium together in a pot or window-box for maximum impact and perfume!Heliotropium 'Nautilus Blue' grows best in well-drained soil, rich in organic matter to ensure a continuous supply of blooms. This Peruvian native thrives in a warm sunny spot.A stem of vanilla-fragranced Heliotrope was laid upon the coffin of the famous American poet Emily Dickinson in 1886.
