Heliotropium curassavicum var. curassavicum var. curassavicum
Seaside heliotrope is a tough, salt-tolerant perennial that thrives in coastal and disturbed habitats with minimal care. Plant it in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil and water regularly until established. Once settled, it handles dryness reasonably well and rewards you with clusters of small, fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators.
