A Sophisticated, Fragrant Blend of Spring Colour.
Double Mixed Wallflowers (Cheiranthus) are a classic garden favourite, prized for their bushy habit and intoxicatingly sweet fragrance. These uniform plants reach a height of 45–60 cm and spread roughly 40 cm across, becoming covered in dense, four-clawed clusters of orange, rose, red, and yellow blooms. Ideal for spring borders and professional floral arrangements, these wallflowers add both visual warmth and a sophisticated scent to the early garden season.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Wallflowers have a two-year life cycle. They focus on foliage in their first year and provide a spectacular floral show in the second.
-
Sow Indoors: Start seeds in a soilless mix in early March. Sow 6 mm deep and maintain a temperature of 20°C.
-
Germination: Expect sprouts in 20–25 days. After germination, grow under lights at slightly cooler temperatures.
-
Transplanting: These plants transplant very well. Harden off and move to a sunny or slightly shaded garden spot.
-
Winter Care: Because these are biennial, they form evergreen rosettes in their first year. We recommend a light mulch to protect these rosettes over the winter.
-
Naturalizing: In milder climates, wallflowers may self-sow and naturalize, returning to your garden year after year.
Why Double Mixed Wallflower Seeds belong in Your Garden
If you value fragrance as much as colour, the Double Mixed Wallflower is a perfect choice. Its ability to bloom early in the spring makes it a vital nectar source for bees emerging from winter. While they require a bit of patience as they establish their first-year growth, the payoff is a massive, multi-coloured display and a garden filled with one of the most beloved scents in horticulture.
