Beskrivelse: Heliotrope har lange, grågrønne blader med dype vener; Å nå en høyde på en fot med en lik spredning er rimelig. Mange små blomster er gruppert i de store hodene brakt godt over løvverket.
Hvordan vokse: Enhver god hagejord med middels fruktbarhet i full sol vil vokse gode heliotroper. Vanligvis startes planter tidlig innendørs (fra frø eller stiklinger) og transplanteres utendørs når fare for frost har gått og bakken er varm. Avhengig av størrelsen på transplantasjoner, plass mellom 8 og 15 tommer fra hverandre.
Forplantning: Så frø 10 til 12 uker før planting ut. Frøene spiser i 7 til 21 dager ved 70 grader til 85 grader Fahrenheit. Root stiklinger i fire-tommers potter i februar å ha husky planter for mai planting.
Bruker: Tuck heliotropes i steinhager, eller dyrk dem foran grenser eller i blandede beholdere.
Vitenskapelig navn: Heliotropium arborescens

FAQ - 💬
❓ Is heliotrope an annual or perennial?
👉 perennialsHeliotrope is a genus of half-hardy perennials which are usually grown as annuals but may be grown as perennial in zones 9 and 10. It is grown both for the attractive clusters of small flowers, which can be, blue, purple, or white, and have a delicate vanilla-almond fragrance. The older varieties are more fragrant.
❓ How poisonous is heliotrope?
👉 All parts of the heliotrope are poisonous and will cause gastric distress in humans and animals. Major species that are effected are Herbivores, cattle, horses, pigs, poultry, and sheep (which are less vulnerable). Heliotrope has slow acting liver toxin, which causes liver damage (atrophic hepatosis).
❓ What is the plant that smells like cherry pie?
👉 HeliotropeA wonderfully scented, shrubby annual which has neat, dark green leaves and clusters of small purple flowers which smell of cherries and vanilla - hence its common name, cherry pie plant.
❓ Are Heliotropes edible?
👉 It is strongly fragrant with a vanilla-like scent. All parts of the plant are poisonous, but toxic to humans only if consumed in large quantities. However, it is toxic to horses and can induce liver failure. Although not very palatable, it will be eaten by animals with no other forage, or when hay is contaminated.
❓ Do heliotropes come back every year?
👉 Heliotrope can grow as a perennial in USDA Zones 10 and 11, but even there it is best grown as an annual because with time it begins to straggle. At the end of summer, you can take cuttings of heliotrope to grow in a sunny window for the winter and transplant back to the garden in spring.
❓ Should I cut back heliotrope?
👉 Pruning. Regularly pruning your heliotrope plant will encourage consistent blooms and a fuller growth habit. You can begin pinching back the stems and flowers in the early spring to encourage more lateral growth.
❓ Is a cherry pie plant poisonous to dogs?
👉 Clinical Signs: Kidney failure (in grazing animals), vomiting, salivation in dogs/cats. Most toxic parts are leaves and roots.
❓ Are Heliotropes safe for dogs?
👉 The danger of heliotrope Heliotrope contains alkaloids that are potent liver toxins. When nibbled on in large quantities by our pets, extreme illness and possible death can occur.
❓ Do you have to deadhead a heliotrope?
👉 Because the flowers bloom in large clusters, they may need some periodic deadheading of old blossoms to make way for more. You can also prune back the plant by about half its size to encourage bushy new growth and flower buds to form.
❓ What is heliotrope also known as?
👉 Also known as Heliotropium arborescens, heliotrope is the more common name used for a popular variety of gardening and landscape flower. It is a sweet-smelling flowering shrub, highly desired and widely prized for its cute clustering blooms and delicate petals.
❓ What is heliotrope used for?
👉 The species known as Indian heliotrope (H. indicum) is an ingredient in the traditional medicine of the Philippines. Juice from the foliage is used to treat ulcers, wounds, and conjunctivitis.
