Creeping heliotrope does best in sun or part shade with occasional watering. It is hardy to around 30° F as an evergreen perennial but is root hardy to 20° F. It should be pinched through summer to promote rebloom and to keep more compact. It will spread by rhizomes but can be root pruned to contain growth. Creeping heliotrope tolerates drought and survives neglect. All parts of this plant are poisonous, but toxic only if eaten in large quantities. More information on Heliotropium .
