Walberton’s® Fragrant Sunshine is a very compact Erysimum variety with dense bushy growth. Wonderful bright yellow scented flowers, some of which are speckled with red when in bud, are produced over a long season - an attribute resulting from its sterile nature.
Walberton’s® Fragrant Sunshine makes a splendid container plant for patio use. It can also be used in the perennial border, or as a bedding plant in colder districts.
Erysimum Walberton’s® Fragrant Sunshine is already well established in the UK market, where many tens of thousands are sold each year by FarPlants (more than 60,000 in 2003). It makes a fantastic 1.5 litre or 2 litre specimen for impulse sales.
