Erysimum 'Pastel Patchwork'

perennial wallflower

Product Image
In bloom from April through to August, the aptly named, Erysimum 'Pastel Patchwork' has clusters of fragrant blooms in shades of mauve, pink, yellow and cream. Once established, this relatively short-lived, evergreen perennial has good drought tolerance, produces lashings of flowers for the vase, and attracts a range of pollinating insects.

How to care for Erysimum Pastel Patchwork:

When planting this bedding wallflower, incorporate well-rotted compost into the planting hole. If planting in late winter or early spring, there may be some old foliage from the previous year's growth, this will soon be discarded and replaced with fresh new growth.

Provide cloche protection where frosts are very severe or prolonged. Wallflowers like good drainage, so take care not to over-water. When in flower, regular deadheading will prolong the display even further.
