Wallflowers are striking perennials that bring a burst of gorgeous color and scent to the spring garden. Also known as Erysimum, they are nectar rich and will entice plenty of pollinators to your plot. If you're looking for a hardy flowering plant that will slot beautifully into any planting design make wallflowers your go-to.
There are more than 150 species of wallflower, including popular garden plants and wild forms. The Western wallflower (Erysimum capitatum, also known as the sanddune wallflower or prairie rocket) is native to North America. If you live in a warm climate wallflowers can be grown as a perennial or biennial, and bloom for many months. In cooler climates, they are mostly grown as annuals.
