How to Plant and Care for Garden Heliotrope Organic Seeds
Starting Seeds
- Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
- Use a light, well-draining seed-starting mix. Scatter seeds on the surface without covering them, as they need light to germinate.
- Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination takes 2-3 weeks.
Transplanting
- Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors in a sunny to partially shaded location.
- Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for growth.
Soil Requirements
- Prefers well-draining, loamy soil rich in organic matter.
Watering
- Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant but thrives with consistent moisture.
Lighting
- Grows well in full sun to partial shade, with 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.
Fertilizing
- Requires little fertilization but benefits from an annual application of compost or a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring.
Pruning
- Remove spent flowers to encourage additional blooming and prevent self-seeding if unwanted. Cut back foliage in late autumn as the plant enters dormancy.

- Cottage Gardens: Adds old-world charm and a sweet fragrance.
- Herbal Gardens: Grow your own natural remedies for relaxation and sleep.
- Pollinator-Friendly Landscapes: Attracts bees and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems.
