Quick Overview

Erysimum 'Blood Red'.

Product Description

Our seed list would not be complete without this wallflower -Erysimum 'Blood Red' - long-stemmed, deep crimson, highly-scented wallflower – my top favourite.

Wallflowers are one of my very favourite spring flowers, in the most wonderful rich Venetian range of colours, with one of the best-ever scents you’ll be able to grow. They also make superb cut flowers – their stem ends seared in boiling water for 20 seconds, ideal in arrangements with spring bulbs and euphorbias.
