Plant description
This compact perennial wallflower brings an ever-changing display of colour over a long season. Its fragrant flower clusters open in warm peach tones, shifting through pink to soft lavender and rich purple as they mature. The narrow, dark green, rabbit and deer-resistant foliage stays neat and evergreen, forming a tidy mound that’s ideal for borders, rock gardens, or containers.
Blooming steadily from spring into early summer, it provides long-lasting interest and attracts pollinators with its gentle scent. Erysimum ‘Night Skies’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering reliable colour and low maintenance, once established. Perfect for adding warmth and depth to mixed planting schemes or patio displays.

How to care for Erysimum Night Skies (Sky Series):
Growing Erysimum in well-drained soil/growing medium is advised. Where frosts are severe, provide horticultural fleece protection and mulch with a thick layer of well-rotted organic matter to insulate the roots against the cold. Trimming after flowering will help prevent the plant from becoming leggy.
Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
