I have seeds for heliotrope of the dwarf marine variety and live in western washington. I don't think it will work til spring but does anyone have any other suggestions for an upcoming cold and very wet climate?

I also need something that isn't poisonous to pets.

I don't know if you can actually grow heliotropes in winter. But if you build a cold frame around them, that might keep them warm enough that the winter won't be much of a problem. I had a plastic 'greenhouse' tent that I put up over my little gardening patch that protected them nicely from a week of freak winter weather, after I had planted everything.

Im not sure how cold it gets up there- but here in Southern California- during winter- I plant Ranunculus- outdoors and in pots. Come December and January- they begin to flower- ALOT. Ive planted these in 'winter' for years. Always bloom.
