Erysimum 'Winter Light', has all the benefits of spring light. This false wallflower forms a perennial subshrub with early flowering in two shades of soft yellow, between lemon and primrose, vibrant colours that we really need after winter... pleasantly emphasized by a delicate fragrance.
Cousin of the annual wallflowers, the perennial 'Winter Light' wallflower is a well-branched shrub, a little taller than wide at about 40cm (15.7in), with narrow and evergreen dark green foliage. It is ideal in pots, grown as a biennial, for the spring decoration of your containers and flower boxes, but will also thrive in the garden in a well-drained soil and in the sun, where it will live between 3 and 5 years because it is a hardy perennial, but unfortunately with a short lifespan. Its flowering takes place from March to June, or even early July when summer is late... The numerous buds give rise to large flowers, twice as wide as those of classic wallflowers, but with the same typical 4-petal shape of the Brassicaceae family. Gathered in beautiful spikes, they are of a vivid lemon yellow colour when opening gradually lightening as they bloom to take on a soft primrose yellow hue, creating a 2-tone effect that gives it relief, without detracting from its delicacy. A sweet wallflower fragrance spreads in the air in good weather, so much so that you will smell the Erysimum 'Winter Light' even before you see it...
Perfect in pots where you can easily meet its water and fertilizer requirements as it is actually a rather greedy plant... you can associate it as you wish with bulbs such as daffodils and jonquils, biennial flowers in white and yellow, or even blue, chosen from the range of pansies, primroses, and other violas. But don't hesitate to broaden your creative palette with other early perennials (arabis, candytuft, aubrieta, Moroccan daisies...) and especially perennials with decorative foliage such as Acorus 'Ogon' or Heuchera 'Chartreuse'... then you will be able to capture the essence of spring on a terrace, a balcony, and even a simple windowsill.
Note: Please note that our young plants in mini-modules are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible, in pots, flower boxes, or directly in a flower bed.

Botanical data
The young plants of Erysimum 'Winter Light' can be planted in pots and containers or directly in the open ground in a finely prepared and enriched soil. Plant them as soon as possible, in September-October. If the planned location is not ready yet or if the conditions are not favourable for planting (heavy rain or too dry soil), you can let them grow in pots for 4 to 6 weeks. At planting or shortly after, you must absolutely pinch the tip of the plant between your thumb and index finger to remove the terminal bud and stimulate branching. You can repeat this operation until mid-October to obtain denser bushes.
In pots and containers, use a good well-draining potting soil for flowering plants (for example, with a lot of bark or perlite) and enriched with slow-release fertilizer. The top of the root ball should be level with the soil. Water generously at planting and during the following weeks, as the young plants can dry out quickly. However, be careful with excess water! Make sure to use containers with drainage holes and to empty the saucer 10 minutes after watering. Remember to water even during winter if it doesn't rain or if the container is placed in a sheltered location away from precipitation. Do not water during freezing periods.
Starting 3 weeks after planting and until after flowering, apply a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants 1 to 2 times a week with the watering water, even in winter (as long as watering is necessary). The faded spikes can be cut with scissors to maintain a neat appearance of the plant, but it is not essential, the flowering continues on its own as long as the plant does not lack water. Once the flowering is over, the plants in pots can be replanted in the garden in full sun after being pruned back by about 5cm (2in).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
