I ?love the smell of heliotrope. ?To my delight I found a nursery that had the white heliotrope flowers. ?They have a soft floral fragrance that also smells like vanilla. It is more common to find the purple flowers. ?The garden Heliotrope was used for perfumes back in the day when the perfume industry used live flowers.

Heliotrope is on the list of plants that save the bees. Please plant these. This is my white (alba) heliotrope. heliotropium arborescens “Alba”. It also smells delightful.

Soon I will capture their essence in organic grape alcohol…and then the magic will go into a natural perfume. ?Tune in for the details.
