FAQs
When is the best time to plant wallflowers?
Wallflowers are typically planted for spring displays, generally established in the autumn or early spring depending on your local climate.
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, Erysimum Wallflowers are excellent for patio pots and containers, provided you use high-quality, well-draining potting compost.
Do wallflowers come back every year?
Most Erysimum varieties are grown as biennials or short-lived perennials; they offer the best show in their first or second year.
Are these plants safe for pets?
While generally regarded as safe for garden use, it is always recommended to discourage pets from grazing on garden plants.
How often should I water them?
Water thoroughly after planting. Once established, only water during particularly dry, rain-free periods.
Do I need to fertilize them?
They are quite straightforward and do not typically require heavy feeding if planted in nutrient-rich soil.
Troubleshooting
Plants looking wilted or drooping
Check soil drainage. If the soil is waterlogged, the plants may be struggling with root stress; ensure they are in a well-drained site.
Lack of new flower spikes
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight and verify that all faded blooms have been removed to encourage new growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your Erysimum Wallflowers in a sunny spot that receives plenty of natural light. The soil must be well-drained, as these plants do not tolerate waterlogging. Immediately after planting, provide a thorough watering to help them settle. During dry spells in the spring, check the soil moisture regularly and water as needed. To keep the plants looking their best, perform regular deadheading by removing faded flowers; this practice helps the plant redirect energy into new buds rather than seed production.
