We grew a bench full of heliotropes this spring..I was looking over them a few days ago and guess what I found??You guessed it a variegated marine heliotrope kinda rare I would guess. I will try to grow it out this summer and try to re-produce it later.
Kyle - either you have a knack for growing these types of goodies... or you have an eye for picking them out. If I saw that one in my seedlings I'd probably think it was sick and cull it out! Keep us updated. I wonder if the flowers will be dark like Marine's. Sounds like an awesome combination!
It's beautiful, Kyle! If the flowers are as dark as they usually are, it will really pop!
Don't know if this is a first for heliotropes..but I have never seen one before.Bet Terra Nova would love it if it stays variegated. ;-)
very unique! i like!
Very good looking. Looks like it might keep the variegation.
Thats way cool looking.......
I kill every heliotrope I buy.........how do you keep them alive???
CC by not over watering them.They are real sensitive to too much water.

I discovered one last year in a crop of seed heliotrope I grew. Heliotrope 'Mini Marine'. It was very pretty when young. I thought I had hit a goldmine since all my research into variegated heliotrope produced nothing. As it grew out, the variegation became less showy, more green. I hope yours works out better for you.
Studley....keep your fingers crossed! I have my eyes crossed...LOL
