| Most wallflower plants are of the genus Erysimum, with some types being from Cheiranthus, sometimes called Gillyflower. Wallflower plants have perky spring blooms, often in shades of yellow and orange. Newer cultivars of the wallflower garden plant come in shades of pinks, purples and blue; some varieties have chocolate or crimson blooms. When growing wallflowers, you can start them from seed, which may be sown right into the garden or started indoors. Plant wallflower seeds in spring or in autumn. Cover seeds lightly or simply press them into moist soil. Seeds of wallflower need light to germinate. They may also be covered with perlite or vermiculite. Once sprouted, some gardeners cover with netting about 8 inches (20 cm.) above the plant to keep the 3 foot (90 cm.) specimens upright. Propagation of growing wallflowers can also be done by cuttings in spring. Grow wallflower plants in a sunny or partly shaded location. When growing wallflowers, make sure to plant them in well-draining soil. In the right location and with the right conditions, growing wallflower blooms may last until fall. Plant wallflowers in masses with summer flowering bulbs or include a few in containers planted with summer blooms. Water the plants regularly until established, then water occasionally if there is no rainfall. |
