English Wallflower Seeds

Cheiranthus Erysimum

Originally from Mediterranean Europe, they have escaped to the wild in areas of England & Ireland where they self-seed along limestone cliffs. They have been naturalized in the British Isles for many centuries, where they acquired the name "Wallflower" due to their fondness for alkalinity having encouraged them to root into the masonry of old castle ruins & ancient mortared stone fences. Butterflies are drawn to the flowers, so it is recommendable as an insect plant to encourage pollinators & predator insects to reproduce in the garden. Birds like to eat the flower seeds; hence, this species is also recommended plantings for garden birdwatchers.
