Erysimum 'Constant Cheer'
perennial wallflower
Erysimum 'Constant Cheer' is a colourful and compact wallflower that brings months of interest to borders and containers. This evergreen perennial forms neat mounds of slender, dark green foliage topped with clusters of richly scented blooms. The flowers open in shades of warm orange and mellow into pink, purple and burgundy tones as as they mature, creating a constantly changing display from spring through late summer.
How to care for Erysimum Constant Cheer:
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.
