Heliotropium is a genus of bushy perennials and shrubs celebrated for their dense, rounded clusters of tiny, fragrant flowers. Often called the Cherry Pie plant, it emits a sweet vanilla-almond scent that attracts butterflies. The foliage is typically dark green, deeply veined, and slightly rough. While it thrives in full sun and rich, moist soil, it appreciates afternoon shade in hot climates. It is commonly grown as a summer annual in beds, borders, or containers for its vintage charm.
