Re: Heliotrope

What sort? The classical European Heliotrope has been almost completely
taken over by a horrid little variety of Heliotropium peruvianum (syn
arborescens) which is commonly found lurking in the bottom of municipal
bedding schemes. This creepy variety  only seems to be available in
irridescent blue However not all is lost, We sell
the old fashioned aromatic variety  which gets about four feet tall and,
I am told, really does smell of cherries, though my sense of smell has
declined too far into senility to recognise it.  This old Victorian form
comes in an interesting  variety of pastel shades (although cynics would
described it as "washed out") the only draw back is that it does require
a cool conservatory in Winter
