Album Common Heliotrope carries domed clusters of small creamy white flowers over a rounded mound of deep green leaves, and the real payoff is the scent: warm, sweet, unmistakably vanilla. Heliotropium arborescens 'Album' ships as a live 4-inch plant.

Plant it where people sit. A pot by the back door, a bedding ribbon along the patio, the near end of a bench — anywhere the fragrance can find you on a warm evening. The compact habit suits containers and small city gardens, bloom carries from summer into fall, and pollinators work the little tubular flowers the whole way through.

Fun fact: Heliotropium means turn toward the sun, from the Greek helios and tropos — old gardeners believed the flower heads tracked it across the sky. Album simply means white.

Pinch it once after planting for bushier growth; it arrives healthy or we replace it free.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
