Heliotropium arborescens ‘Dame Alice de Hales’


Description:
Reads Nursery, Norfolk catalogue of 2004 described the introduction of this cultivar 'Our pink heliotrope appeared in some seedlings eight years ago, a child of White Lady x Chatsworth. The flowers are lavender pink and have a fine spicy 'Cherry Pie' scent. Mid green foliage on strong plants which make good standards. We named if after an earlier lady of the house who married a prince and became a formidable chatelaine hereabouts in the early 1300's.'.
