Erysimum Sunstrong Bicolour Purple

An excellent choice to brighten up your garden from late winter all the way through till autumn, Erysimum Sunstrong Bicolour Purple produces fragrant clusters of long-lasting blooms that continually refresh the display. Flowers open in warm shades of peachy pink to orange before softening to a gentle lilac as they mature, creating a beautiful multi-toned effect on each plant. Compact and bushy in habit, this carefree perennial delivers months of vibrant colour with minimal effort, making it perfect for borders, cottage-style gardens, and containers where long-lasting performance and soft fragrance are a must.

An evergreen perennial, Erysimum are also known as Wallflowers, however there is nothing shy and retiring about this beautiful and fragrant compact shrubby plant. With a long flowering period, Erysimum will show off amazing colour from early Spring right through till late Summer, asking for nothing much more than an occasional watering in dry conditions and a cut back at the end of the season.

An excellent plant for attracting beneficial insects, Erysimum grows best in a well drained soil in a sunny position, but they will tolerate a partly shaded position. Too much shade will encourage plants to become leggy and produce less flowers so ensure a good 4-6 hours of sunlight throughout the growing months. Erysimum are drought tolerant and grow best in a sheltered spot in cooler climates.
