This evergreen typically grows to 40 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of short periods of dry as well as moderate frost once established. Heliotropium arborescens is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, included in outdoor living areas, added to cottage gardens, or maintained in a container. A mass planting is a great way to showcase this plant.
