Erysistible Wallflower 'Magenta'

Purples, magenta and a touch of gold, these deeply coloured petals are sure to please. These Wallflowers have incredible new breeding with compact, well branched growth and spectacularly colourful blooms from around September all the way through to March. These lasting perennials combine well with spring flowering bulbs in both gardens and pots. The bright colours cascade in an ombre effect as they open.

Wallflowers are stand out, pollinator friendly perennials that don’t need a lot of fuss. The blooms have a delightful, sweet, honey like fragrance and they last for months. Their tidy, upright habit is an asset in gardens or pots.

Wallflowers are fantastic companions to spring flowering bulbs. They especially make playful partners for tulips. They also look good in rockeries, as part of a border or in groups in garden beds.

A 15-20cm container is the ideal size for these beauties if they are going to go solo.

Plant in moderately fertile to humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. Water to establish, then only if rainfall is low. They don’t like heavy clay soils.

If you cut the flower stems back after they have finished blooming, it will help to keep the plant bushy and perennial. Then, once flowering has finished you can prune hard in winter, and then add some fertiliser to encourage and maintain healthy growth.

Deer and rabbit resistant plants with good heat tolerance. Hardy to -15C.
