Heliotropium Anomalum Argenteum

Design with this plant

Overview

Hinahina, or White Heliotrope (Heliotropium anomalum argenteum), graces landscapes with its silver-gray foliage and clusters of tiny, fragrant white flowers. Native to Hawaii, it's a resilient, drought-tolerant groundcover, thriving in full sun to light shade. Typically reaching 6-12 inches in height and spreading 24-30 inches wide, it lends a coastal essence to gardens, and is ideal for rockeries or as an accent in xeriscapes. USDA Zones 9-11.
