FAQs
When is the best time to plant wallflowers?

Are these plants frost-hardy?
Yes, Erysimum are generally hardy and can withstand typical UK spring weather.
How often should I water them?
Water thoroughly after planting and during dry spells, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent rot.
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, they are excellent for containers provided the pots have drainage holes and use high-quality, free-draining compost.
Do they attract butterflies?
Yes, their nectar-rich flowers are attractive to a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
Troubleshooting
Plant growth is sparse or leggy
The plant is likely not receiving enough direct sunlight; move to a sunnier location.
Flowers are wilting or rotting
Check soil drainage; ensure the plant is not sitting in waterlogged soil and improve drainage with grit if necessary.
Reduced flowering
Regularly deadhead spent flowers to stimulate the production of new blooms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To establish your wallflowers, plant them in a sunny position with free-draining soil. After initial planting, provide a thorough watering to settle the roots. While they are resilient, keep an eye on them during extended dry spells in spring and provide supplemental water if the soil feels dry to the touch. To encourage a longer blooming season, perform regular deadheading by snapping off faded flower spikes. This prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production and redirects it toward new buds.
