Plant description
Erysimum 'Constant Cheer' is a colourful and compact wallflower that brings months of interest to borders and containers. This evergreen perennial forms neat mounds of slender, dark green foliage topped with clusters of richly scented blooms. The flowers open in shades of warm orange and mellow into pink, purple and burgundy tones as as they mature, creating a constantly changing display from spring through late summer.
Ideal for sunny, well-drained spots, it pairs beautifully with tulips and other spring bulbs. Though often short-lived, Erysimum ‘Winter Sorbet’ is easy to grow, long-flowering, and perfect for adding vibrant, shifting colour to the garden.

How to care for Erysimum Constant Cheer:
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.
