Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’

Description

Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’

This charming wallflower cultivar brings warmth and character to borders with its masses of lightly fragrant blooms. Growing to a tidy height of 45-50 cm, Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ forms a neat, bushy habit that works beautifully in both formal and informal garden settings. The flowers emerge in rich orange-apricot tones, gradually mellowing to softer peachy hues as they mature, creating a beautiful colour succession throughout their long blooming period.

Beginning its display in early spring, this hardy perennial continues flowering well into summer, offering an exceptionally long season of interest. Its slender, green leaves provide an attractive backdrop to the abundant flower spikes, whilst also adding textural contrast to neighbouring plants.

Most content in full sun and well-draining soil, ‘Apricot Twist’ proves particularly valuable in coastal gardens and exposed sites. Its compact nature makes it ideal for container planting, whilst its lengthy flowering season ensures it earns its place in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and gravel plantings.
