Erysimum ‘Plantworld Rainbows’
A kaleidoscope of perennial wallflowers from a unique breeding line.
Erysimum ‘Plantworld Rainbows’ brings colour, fragrance and long-lasting charm to the border. These hybrids sparkle in every shade imaginable, from soft pastels to vibrant jewel tones, and are loved by bees and butterflies alike. Their neat spires of blooms appear in succession over many months, ensuring your garden has a reliable splash of brightness.
Originally created from a cross between the ever-popular ‘Bowles Mauve’, E. linifolium, E. scoparius and dwarf wallflowers, these plants have inherited excellent garden performance. They thrive in free-draining soil, cope well with dry conditions once established, and make ideal partners for other sun-loving perennials. Compact and bushy, they are perfect for both borders and containers, rewarding you with generous flowering displays.

Island gardens suit Erysimum ‘Plantworld Rainbows’ perfectly, as they are drought-tolerant and thrive in coastal conditions. With our milder winters, they often remain evergreen and continue to flower through the cooler months, providing reliable colour even when little else is blooming.
