Erysimum Cheiri

Erysimum cheiri, commonly known as Wallflower, is a beautifully fragrant cottage garden favourite, loved for its rich, warm-toned flowers and long flowering season. Blooming in shades of yellow, orange, red and purple, these UK-grown plants bring both colour and scent to spring displays. Perfect for borders, containers and pollinator-friendly planting, wallflowers are a reliable and low-maintenance choice for seasonal colour.

Plant Care

Position: full sun, in well-drained soil – thrives in borders, gravel gardens, or containers

Hardiness: hardy in most of the UK (down to -5°C), but short-lived – often treated as a biennial or short-lived perennial

Hot Tips: trim lightly after flowering to keep it bushy, but avoid cutting into old wood. Loves a sunny spot and hates wet feet – don’t overwater!
