This gorgeous trio of F1 wallflowers will fill your garden with vibrant colour and sweet scent throughout the spring. Supplied as 15 jumbo seedlings.
In each collection you will receive the following:
- 5 x Erysimum 'Sugar Rush Red': Upright clusters of warm red flowers add body and oomph to the planting scheme, while their delicious scent will fill the surrounding air. Often flowerng over several months, they'll put on a prolonged (and colourful) display. Grows to 30cm.
- 5 x Erysimum 'Sugar Rush Primrose': These scented flowers will often start to bloom in winter, but will really get into their stride in spring. Very tough and easy to grow, they'll provide a long-lasting and colourful display. Try mixing them with blue or purple shades for contrast, or team them with orange and red for a fiery display. Grows to 30cm.
- 5 x Erysimum 'Sugar Rush Purple Bicolour': Emerging with an apricot/burgundy flush, the spicily scented flowers turn lilac/purple as they mature. They look wonderful when teamed with spring-flowering bulbs - particularly tulips with rich plum, purple or burnt orange blooms. Grows to 30cm.
Garden care:
Plant these jumbo seedlings straight out into well-prepared borders, or into pots filled with a good quality potting mix. Apply a generous layer of mulch and provide overnight cloche or fleece protection where frosts are very severe or prolonged. Once they start to flower, regular deadheading will help extend the display.
