Erysimum 'Apricot Twist'
perennial wallflower
Packed with vibrant colour and scent, this perennial wallflower produces apricot-orange blooms that open from rich burgundy buds and last from early spring well into summer, sometimes reappearing in winter. Erect flowering stems grow from a compact mound of narrow grey-green leaves, forming a mostly evergreen backdrop that stays attractive when flowers fade.
Erysimum 'Apricot Twist' thrives in sunny borders, containers, and cottage-style gardens, offering weeks of cheerful colour without replanting. Its lightly scented flowers attract bees and make excellent, long-lasting cut blooms. Easy to grow, and rabbit resistant, this long-flowering wallflower is ideal for adding structure and vibrant apricot-orange highlights to well-drained, winter-sheltered spots.

How to care for Erysimum Apricot Twist:
Growing Erysimum in well-drained soil/growing medium is advised. Where frosts are severe, provide horticultural fleece protection and mulch with a thick layer of well-rotted organic matter to insulate the roots against the cold. Trimming after flowering will help prevent the plant from becoming leggy.
