- Bring cheerful colour and a lovely touch of fragrance to your garden with Erysimum Wallflowers. A traditional favourite in UK gardens, wallflowers are loved for their colourful flower spikes and ability to brighten beds, borders and containers when the garden can otherwise be looking a little bare.
- The clusters of flowers sit above neat green foliage and make a wonderful addition to spring displays. Plant them alongside tulips, daffodils and other spring-flowering bulbs for a classic combination, or use them in patio pots and containers to add an easy splash of seasonal colour near doors and seating areas.
- Erysimum Wallflowers are also a welcome source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects. Their colourful, often sweetly scented flowers make them particularly useful for bringing both colour and wildlife interest into the garden.
- For the best results, plant your wallflowers in a sunny position with well-drained soil. They're straightforward to look after and don't ask for much once established. Water after planting and during particularly dry spells, and remove faded flowers to help keep plants tidy and encourage the display to continue.
- Whether you're filling gaps in a border, putting together colourful containers or planning a traditional spring garden, Erysimum Wallflowers are an easy and dependable choice. With their combination of fragrance, colour and pollinator appeal, they're a simple way to give the garden a welcome lift as the new growing season gets underway.

Watering Water regularly after planting until the roots are established. Once settled in, the plant is relatively drought tolerant and usually only needs extra water during prolonged dry spells. Plants grown in containers will need more frequent watering than those growing in the ground.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
