Erysimum 'Winter Passion' (Pot Size: 1 Litre Pot)
Erysimum ‘Winter Passion’ is an powerful perennial that is well known for its reliable garden performance. Erysimum add an early flush of colour to any garden setting and we love its early arrival in the season and the versatility of its shape and form. ‘Winter Passion’ is a short-lived, evergreen perennial with a compact and neat habit. Woody-based stems produce dark green narrow leaves and they are a rich backdrop to the masses of terminal clusters of flowers. The flowers are deeply red and fade to deep purple as the season progresses, offering a rich colour change and lots of visual interest. Blooms not only undergo this charming colour transformation as the plant matures, but they also last from Spring until Autumn. ‘Winter Passion’ holds the prestigious RHS Plants for Pollinators award and so is well recognised as a nectar-rich garden flower that provides forage for a wide variety of wild bees and other pollinating insects that are in decline. We adore its fragrant and colour changing hues and the bees and insects seem to think so too! Erysimum are easy to grow and thrive as a patio or container specimen and when planted in flower borders and beds, it contributes to a well-structured garden design. Its compact bushy and mound forming growth allows the Erysimum to fit perfectly into city and courtyard gardens, coastal landscapes, cottage-style, and informal gardens.
