Wallflower (Erysimum)
Wallflower Plant Features
Add some sunshine to your spring border with wallflower. This pretty perennial pops into bloom alongside crocus and daffodils producing a welcome burst of color to sunny borders. Wallflowers are also fragrant which makes them especially appealing after a dreary winter. Wallflowers grow 12 to 24 inches tall and require excellent drainage, preferring the loose soil along a pathway or wall (hence their common name). Wallflowers are a short-lived perennial so replant every year or two. Butterflies and hummingbirds love the early banquet of blooms, too. Hardy from zones 7-9.Wallflower Questions?
