Spring bedding wouldn't be complete without wallflowers, which make a bright and very fragrant scent in beds and borders early in the year. They're easy to grow and perform reliably on most soils. They are short-lived perennials but are generally grown as biennials and discarded after flowering.

Erysimum cheiri 'Sunset Purple' produces fragrant, rich purple blooms in spring, and may bear a second flush in late summer. For best results sow in May in a nursery bed and move to its final planting position in autumn. Plants will flower the following spring.
