Wallflowers (Erysimum cheiri) are short-lived, evergreen perennials with masses of spring blooms and enchanting scent. Most wallflowers are grown as biennials, but they can persist for an extra year or so in perfect conditions. They are happiest in poor to average, well-drained soil in full sun. 

'Primrose Bedder' is a compact variety with clear, primrose yellow spring blooms. The sweet clove fragrance is exactly what one expects from a wallflower.
