About Wallflower

Wallflowers (Erysimum) are cheerful, often fragrant plants, popular in UK gardens for their vibrant spring and early summer blooms. They are relatively low-maintenance and can provide a splash of colour when many other plants are just beginning to stir. Many varieties are short-lived perennials, often grown as biennials in the UK.

Outdoor garden plant. Perennial. Typically flowers around Mar, Apr, May.

How to care for Wallflower

💧 Watering

Water regularly during dry spells, especially when establishing. Established plants are fairly drought tolerant.

🌿 Feeding

A general-purpose granular feed in spring can encourage better flowering, but often not strictly necessary.
