How to care for Erysimum Red Jep:
When planting this perennial 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.
Protect emerging shoots from frost with a double layer of horticultural fleece and provide a thick organic (insulating) mulch for extra frost protection during freezing conditions for the roots.

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.
