Erysimum cheiri ‘Cloth of Gold’ seeds – ( Wallflower)

Description

This lovely old wallflower has stood the test of time, with its large bright golden-yellow flowers which are very sweetly fragant. They bloom in spring and summer, filling the garden with their perfume and if you cut them for inside they scent the room as well. You can use them in containers too, as they can withstand dry conditions and like a well drained spot.
