Trim off the flower heads after they fade and die to encourage more blooms late into the season. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em 0em;\" id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara3\"\u003eMarino Blue Heliotrope is recommended for the following landscape applications;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\" id=\"NetPS-LAPara3-ap\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.3em; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.4em 0em;\"\u003eMass Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.3em; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.4em 0em;\"\u003eBorder Edging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.3em; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.4em 0em;\"\u003eGeneral Garden Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.3em; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.4em 0em;\"\u003eContainer Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.3em; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.4em 0em;\"\u003eHanging Baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em 0em;\" id=\"NetPS-PlantPGHeader\" class=\"NetPS-PlantDescHeader\"\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em 0em;\" id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara1\"\u003eMarino Blue Heliotrope will grow to be about 10 inches tall at maturity extending to 14 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 18 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 15 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. Although it's not a true annual, this plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em 0em;\" id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider covering it with a thick layer of mulch in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America, and parts of it are known to be toxic to humans and animals, so care should be exercised in planting it around children and pets. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #006666; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0em 0.8em 0em;\" id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eMarino Blue Heliotrope is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harts","offers":[{"title":"4\" \/ Marino Blue","offer_id":33797063311405,"sku":"","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/2779\/4221\/products\/HeliotropeMarinoBlue.jpg?v=1588262571","url":"https:\/\/thegardenerschoice.net\/products\/heliotrope","provider":"The Gardeners' Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
