20. Heliotrope
Heliotrope is a Victorian-era favorite that’s been making a quiet comeback, and once you get a whiff of its scent, you’ll understand why. The small, clustered flowers bloom in deep purple, lavender, or white and give off a warm, sweet vanilla fragrance with hints of cherry and almond. It’s sometimes called “cherry pie plant” because of its dessert-like aroma. Heliotrope thrives in sunny spots with rich, well-drained soil and does well in containers or flower beds. It’s moderately drought-tolerant once established and blooms from mid-summer to early fall. This plant is also toxic to pets, so place it strategically if you have animals that roam. Despite its delicate appearance, heliotrope adds a bold olfactory layer to your landscape. Place it near outdoor seating areas, windows, or entryways so its unforgettable scent can greet you every time you pass by.
