Bushy plants about 40 cm (16″) across are covered with four-clawed clusters of orange, rose, red and yellow shaded flowers. Uniform sized plants bloom in the spring and are quite easy to grow. Transplants well. Adds a sophisticated fragrance to any floral arrangement. Biennial hardy to Zone 5 with protection. We recommend using a light mulch to protect the evergreen rosettes over the winter. Wallflower may self-sow and naturalize where winters are mild.
