FAQs

When is the best time to plant these wallflowers?

They are best planted in autumn or early spring to establish a strong root system before the peak flowering period.

Can I plant these in containers?

Yes, they are excellent for containers and patio pots, provided the pots have drainage holes.

Do I need to fertilize my wallflowers?

While not strictly required, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the start of the growing season can encourage more vigorous growth.

Are these plants perennial?

Erysimum are often grown as short-lived perennials or biennials; their performance may vary after the second season.

Will these attract bees?

Yes, they are highly regarded as a beneficial nectar source for bees and other garden pollinators.

How far apart should I space them?

Plant them approximately 20-30cm apart to allow enough room for foliage development and airflow.

Troubleshooting

Plant growth is stunted or wilting

Check soil drainage; wallflowers do not tolerate standing water and may suffer from root rot in waterlogged conditions.

Lack of flowers

Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight. Wallflowers often fail to bloom if placed in deep shade.

Flowers fading quickly

Remove spent blooms promptly and ensure the plant is receiving sufficient water during unusually warm spring days.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds early spring color when other plants are bare
  • Provides a pleasant fragrance near seating areas
  • Encourages bees and pollinators to visit the garden
  • Easy to integrate into existing bulb displays like tulips
  • Reliable and dependable performance

Cons

  • Requires well-drained soil to thrive
  • Best performance limited to sunny positions
  • Needs deadheading to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal growth, ensure these plants are positioned in a sunny spot with soil that drains freely. Avoid heavy, waterlogged clay soils. When planting, space them appropriately to allow for airflow. Maintenance is minimal: water immediately after planting and provide additional hydration during dry spells. To keep the display fresh and encourage continuous blooming, regularly remove any faded or dead flowers. This process, known as deadheading, helps the plant direct energy into new growth rather than seed production.
