Description

Wallflower 'Sunset Mixed F1' is a beautiful hybrid selection that produces masses of flowers on bushy, uniform plants in spring and again in autumn. The intensely fragrant blooms come in a wide range of shades depending on the plant, from cream to yellow, mahogany and purple. Wallflowers thrive in full sun in poor, dry soil where nothing else grows. This selection is particularly suitable for sunny borders and flower beds. It is also great for growing in pots.

English Wallflower (in latin Erysimum cheiri/cheirii ou Cheiranthus) is a short-lived perennial plant belonging to the Brassicaceae family, native to southern Europe. It is often grown as an annual or biennial and is famous for its intense, clove-like fragrance. 'Sunset Mixed F1' is an excellent hybrid selection that has a uniform, bushy habit (40-45 cm tall and wide). It produces solid or two-toned flowers amongst lanceolate, greyish-green leaves. This selection is particularly vigorous. It flowers from April to early summer and repeat flowers in autumn. The blooms come in a wide range of colours, including cream, yellow, apricot, salmon pink, mahogany, dark purple and violet. Although it flowers in its first year, blooms will be at their best during the second year.

Wallflowers are very undemanding, easy-going plants. They thrive in poor, light, shallow, well-drained soils and are often are found growing out of tiny cracks in pavements or stone walls. They require a sunny position, preferably sheltered from strong winds. They are not very sensitive to diseases, although too much humidity can lead to rust and powdery mildew. Their colourful blooms are loved by nectar-gathering insects. Grow in sunny borders, rock gardens or along south-facing walls with rose campions, blanket flowers or Jerusalem sage! Wallflowers are also a popular choice for pots or window boxes on the patio or balcony.

Planting and care

Wallflowers germinate at a temperature of 18 to 20°C.

Sow under cover in March/April in sowing mix or combine 2 parts garden soil with 1 part sand. When the plants are strong enough to be handled, plant out in autumn or early spring. Be careful not to damage the taproots when planting. Direct sow from April to June: scatter the seeds lightly and cover with 5 mm of sieved potting mix. Press down and water gently. Keep the soil moist until germination and protect the young plants from direct sunlight with horticultural fleece. Beware of greedy slugs and snails that can cause considerable damage to young plants. If necessary, use organic slug pellets such as Ferramol.
