Erysimum ( Wallflower ) Sugar Rush Purple Bicolour | 5 Jumbo Seedlings

A staple in the spring display. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: March to June (and occasionally in winter) Hardiness: fully hardy but short-lived Emerging with an apricot/burgundy flush, the spicily scented flowers of ‘Sugar Rush Purple Bicolour’ turn lilac/purple as they mature. Being F1 hybrids, these jumbo seedlings are tough and easy to grow – and they’ll reliably put on a terrific display over a long period. Team them with tulips of daffodils and enjoy months of spring colour. Grown individually in cell trays, each plant measures about 7 – 10cm tall (from the base of the root to the top of the plant). Garden care: Plant these jumbo seedlings straight out into well-prepared borders – or into pots filled with a good quality potting mix. Apply a generous layer of mulch and provide overnight cloche or fleece protection where frosts are very severe or prolonged. Once they start to flower, regular deadheading will help extend the display.
