John asks…
what is a short history of the word "Heliotrope"?
"Helios tropein" Greek for; turns to the sun. Helios means Sun and tropein means to turn towards. The beautiful purple, pink color "Heliotrope" flower is called by this name; which means turns towards the Sun. So it is a color and it is a species of flower as well. Hope that helps!
Chris asks…
I have a heliotrope plant in a pot in my yard and it isn't doing well. Should it be in sunlight or shade? How often should I water it?
Susan asks…
I am looking for a new perfume for winter time or the upcoming summer. I dislike flowery scents. So please do not list any of those..
I don't know of any particular heliotrope perfume by name, but if you can find a custom perfume shop, of which there are many, you can have one blended for you. That's not as expensive as it might seem, either.
Sandy asks…
Anyone know where I can get my hands on a few? I want them for my bridesmaids' necklaces, thanks
You can buy a Swarovski heliotrope star pendant from most handmade jewelry sellers who stock Swarovski stars. This will be made using a genuine Swarovski crystal star, but the completed pendant is not made by Swarovski.
Here is an example site: www.judesjewels.co.uk
William asks…
Heliotrope is not blossoming the way I heard they should. I keep it moist (not to wet) and it does get some sun. Help!
How hot is it where you live, maybe it is receiving too much heat. Try putting it in the shade for a while. Pinch off the dead blossoms to encourage new flowers and give it some Miracle Grow. I love heliotrope, but sometimes it can be hard to grow....
