Heliotropes are popular flowering perennials featuring charming flowers with a pleasant aroma, which perfectly fits a ‘old cottage' garden theme. Some gardeners describe the scent of the flowers as vanilla, while others insist they smell like cherry pie. They bloom during summer in white, lavender or even purple. They are full sun plants and prefer morning sun while light shade in the afternoon is ideal. They also require lots of water to thrive and should be planted in rich, loamy soil that is well-draining but retains some water.
