Wallflower cheiri 'Ivory' is a lovely, pale creamy wallflower with wonderful scent – the nicest of all the pale-coloured wallflowers I’ve tried and perfect for planting and arranging with highly scented narcissi such as ‘Silver Chimes’ and ‘Minnow’. This also looks great interplanted with Tulip 'Spring Green'.
Wallflowers are one of my favourite spring flowers - making great cut flowers and perfect bedding plants.
- This is available as seeds or 9cm plants.
