How to grow and care for erysimum the easy way


Nepeta ‘Six Hills Giant’ and Forget-Me-Nots make great combination plants with Erysimums because their striking purple and blue hues perfectly complement the vibrant wallflower colours.

Tulips will stand tall against the smaller wallflower varieties, giving added height to a border or planter.

Creeping rosemary will provide a fragrant backdrop of groundcover and add a new texture next to the woody grey-green and dark green wallflower foliage.


Erysimum Facts

1. Wallflowers are a member of the Brassicaceae botanical family, commonly known as the cabbage family.

2. Perennial wallflowers are a good source of nectar for pollinators; with their extremely long flowering season, they can benefit these invaluable garden visitors most of the year.

3. Many varieties are found growing naturally in wall crevices, hence the name and preference for sunny conditions in well-drained soil. They are just as at home, though, in borders and containers.
