Purple Heliotrope offers "beautiful" blooms with an "unreal" scent customers can smell from feet away. Many praised its long-lasting performance, blooming into November. However, shipping issues were common - plants often arrived damaged, with broken pots and crushed flowers. Some noted lack of scent and slow growth.

Aromagica® Purple Heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens)

I absolutely loved this plant — and I’m not much of a purple person. I grew two in a 16-inch container and they cascaded beautifully over the edge, looking full and lush all season. The scent was unreal; I could smell it several feet away. We had some unusually extreme heat at the end of June (Chicago 5b/6a), and the heliotrope took a brief breather but bounced back once things cooled off — then kept blooming all the way into November. I did some light deadheading to keep things tidy though you don’t really have to. Would definitely grow this again.

Wow! Stunning!!😍

Excellent, long performer. Just keeps on going and going in NC. Rounding mound habit, would deadhead occasionally, still blooming in November

Gorgeous!!😍

I ordered two of these plants. They did so well I ordered several more…all are doing extremely well. They wintered over in my zone 10a garden and didn’t miss a beat. I highly recommend.

I bought the purple Heliotrope. I was not impressed with the plants. I bought five; two were okay, and the other three looked awful. The pots were broken, and the plants were dead.
I love proven winners, but I will never mail an order from you again.

Thank you for sharing your review of your Aromagica® Purple Heliotropes. We're sorry to hear this and are happy to help! Please email us with photos of the plants and we can further assist you.
