The flowers seem to hold up real well under winter conditions without any protection (in dry areas). The sweet scent of the blossoms are reason enough to grow Wallflowers, especially in containers or along a path. The low, mounding perrenials have upright or creeping stems and narrow leaves. They give off thick clusters of fragrent, four-petaled, orange to slightly yellow flowers. Although the Siberian Wallflower is a spring bloomer, in cooler summer climates, these will bloom well into the summer. Cheiranthus means 'hand-flower', and in the Middle Ages the flower was carried in the hand at festivals since it had a pleasant fragrance. May we suggest planting these with BlueFlax (Linum perrene lewisii) or Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii) for a nice contrast.
