Marine Heliotrope is a live 4-inch plant carrying dense domes of deep violet florets over dark, quilted green leaves — and the scent reaches you first. Most gardeners land somewhere between vanilla and cherry pie describing it.

Compact enough for a doorstep pot and generous enough for a bedding drift, Heliotropium arborescens 'Marine' belongs wherever people sit: patio containers, a bench-side border, the sunny edge of a path. Keep it in fertile soil that stays evenly moist and out of hard wind, and it flowers from summer into fall while bees and butterflies work the clusters.

Fun fact: the name comes from the Greek helios, sun, and trope, to turn — for the old belief that the flower heads follow the sun across the sky.

Expect an established, well-rooted plant at your door, healthy arrival guaranteed.

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.
