Are Heliotrope hardy

  • **Hallelujah!!** image BLESS you Verdun!!! Oh and you are in Cornwall! I LOVE Cornwall! Last year, we rented a cottage in Penti Dowran and travelled all over- the climate is just sublime! This was in May.... I had to go back again later in the year to Truro. I took my best friend to the Minack open-air theatre to see King Lear....Verdun, I cannot begin to describe that magical sunset and how ethereal the whole experience was!

    We digress however- now to call Homestead plants! image Thanks again.

    I only came fifth...image

    But my jokes are of a higher quality than Verdun's...image

    Good luck with it Anomander. Heliotrope isn't reliably hardy up here which is a a pity. Something I've always rather fancied  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I could 'grow them in containers and bring them out the greenhouse....'

    if I had one...and could be bothered Verd...  image

    oh you're very slow...too much ice cream and doughnuts....image

  • Ah, you two do make me chuckle ? I'm out of luck with both garden centres, Verdun. Both are sold out for 2016 so I shall commence next year. Alternatively, I could just try to get some Chatsworth seeds and sow my way to success.

    I do have a small greenhouse so I will try to overwinter the existing 2 Marine plants- we came back from a weekend away last night and went into the back garden to do some watering and just those two little plants made SUCH a fragrant impression! ? So I'm in love... ?

    And yes, I do adore Cornwall Verdun! Fairygirl, whereabouts are you located? Just so I can pay due homage- as an advance-deposit, I'm sure it's simply wonderful! ??

    Slightly further north Anomander - west central Scotland. Lots of rain and not too much warm sun  image

    and yes - it's so wonderful, Verdun's thinking of moving up here to enjoy our beautiful scenery. He's got to bring extra clothes though  image

    I expect you can get some online too. There are lots of good suppliers who might have a few plants left. We have a thread here for all the places we recommend - it's called The Good Guys . Verd started it a while back  image
