Description
Reviews

The variety 'Scarlet Emperor' strikes through its bright, flame-red to dark red blossoms that stand lushly in clusters and scent wonderfully. The Common Wallflower is a shrub-like growing bush that could already have been found as a decorative plant in the garden of wealthy and noble people in the Middle Ages.

This perennial shrub is only limitedly hardy and is most often cultivated as a biennial shrub here. The Common Wallflower loves the especially warm spots in the garden but is often also satisfied with a crack in a wall. It's especially beautiful in lush plantations at the wayside or in the classic spring flower bed.

Perennial, however, often rather biennial shrub that blooms beautifully in spring. Preculture indoors possible from mid-March or direct sowing outdoors from mid-May to July. Only slightly cover the seeds with soil. Germination period approx. 14 days. The seedlings should only move outdoors after the last night frosts. The Common Wallflower prefers very warm, protected, and sunny locations. It doesn't bloom before the second year and isn't quite as hardy. Therefore, you should protect it with brushwood or fleece in winter.
The Common Wallflower belongs to the brassica plants and is, therefore, equally prone to the typical pests.
