Time to Get A Sugar Rush

It’s time to try something new in the garden this year and the Erysimum cheiri Sugar Rush Series of wallflower is the perfect choice. This new variety of wallflower was bred for those who crave color, fragrance, and a longer flowering period. The plants are of compact size, making it a great choice for small pots and window boxes. It displays a profusion of fragrant flowers over a much longer flowering season than its predecessors. The flowering time is further lengthened with regular deadheading.

Breeding this wallflower was a collaborative effort between two renowned breeders, one in France and another in the UK. The Erysimum cheiri Sugar Rush Series is a great choice for people who want a reliable and attractive early-season burst of flower in their garden.

Longer Flowering

Erysimum Sugar Rush Series is a F1 Hybrid that requires no cold period to initiate flowering ( a thing called vernalization) so they start to flower as early as 9 weeks after sowing in autumn. For gardeners this means that the plants have a far longer season of flowering, starting in autumn and flowering through Spring.

Hardier

It also boasts increased hardiness, making it a great choice for cold climates.

Scented

What’s more, the new Sugar Rush Series wallflower has a wonderful scent that makes this plant an absolute joy to have in the garden. I am planting them in pots outside the patio doors with some dwarf tulips, I tried to do it this morning, but everything is still frozen!

Compact

It’s compact in size and will comfortably fit into small spaces, making it a great choice for patios, window boxes, and balcony gardens. Its increased hardiness makes it suitable for a much wider range of climates too. Whether it’s in a corner of the garden, a window box, or a container, this wallflower will make a stunning highlight in any garden this season.

Available Now

Look out for this exciting new variety, it has a range of colours, yellow, primrose, orange, purple, and red. I think it will change the way we use wallflowers in pots and planters, being able to appreciate their beauty and fragrance for many months from autumn through to spring. Plants are available from Johnstown Garden Centre (in-store only)
