Popular as outdoor bedding plants, heliotropes (Heliotropium arborescens) can also be grown indoors as houseplants—adding a splash of color and pleasant aroma to your living space. In recent years, as the plant gained popularity for outdoor gardeners, breeders have introduced new varieties with different colored flowers, but the purple heliotrope remains the standard.
Unfortunately, all parts of the heliotrope plant are considered toxic to animals. Despite their intoxicating smell, heliotropes are not particularly palatable plants, which keeps most pets and animals away from them. Regardless, you should ensure that this houseplant is kept out of reach of any curious four-legged family members.
