Sow wallflowers for next spring

What spring garden would be complete without a bed of delightful, sweet-scented Wallflowers, harbingers of warmer weather to come? Very easy to grow and very rewarding; indeed we have found they respond beautifully to the sow and forget technique - bare patches sown with the absolute minimum of fuss from June to mid-August will flower the following spring and continue to supply the household with an abundance of cut flowers for many weeks thereafter. Alternatively, you can sow them into pots now and plant out in August.

With now being the ideal time to sow, here are a few of our bestselling varieties to inspire you.

Erysimum cheiri, 'Blood Red Covent Garden'

This is a variety dating back many years with deep velvety, blood-red flowers.

Erysimum cheiri, 'Ivory White'

With a name like that, it seems surplus to requirements to say anything further. So we won't! (Except, white Wallflowers? Mmm!)

Erysimum cheiri, 'Sunset' Series, F1 Hybrid, 'Sunset Dark Purple'

Fashionable and with a bit of class are these purple siblings.

Erysimum cheiri, 'Giant Pink'

We are sure that this lovely variety with large, rich dark pink flowers is going to become very popular.

Erysimum cheiri, 'Sunset' Series, F1 Hybrid, 'Sunset Apricot'

Another lovely spring colour with showy and attractive flowers. And another Royal Horticultural Society award winner.

Erysimum cheiri, 'Scarlet Bedder'

This is another old variety produced for the amateur gardener that will give nice bushy plants covered with deep and bright, rich scarlet flowers - no skill required, satisfaction guaranteed!
