Heliotrope 'Fragrant Delight'
The Heliotrope 'Fragrant Delight' is a cherished annual known for its loose, flat heads of intensely fragrant, deep lavender blooms that open royal purple and slowly fade. This variety is specifically valued for retaining the classic vanilla perfume that defines the Heliotrope experience. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with consistently moist soil. Customers report that this plant is deer-resistant, allowing its wonderful fragrance to be enjoyed throughout the summer and fall. It ships as a plant in a 1-pint container, ready for transplanting.
