A high altitude collection from our 1994 Chile trip, collected at 6,000ft on Volcano Antuco (RB94054). Has flourished here for many years. Massed heads of spiky, greeny-white grape-sized flowers on strong stalks above pineapple-like saw-toothed rosettes. ... Learn More

Superlative evergreen, beautifully variegated and marbled, waxy green rosettes, produce branching angular sprays of spiky silvery-blue flowers. From the Atlas Mountains of Africa comes this low growing, very long-lived, completely hardy, loveliest of the eryngiums. ... Learn More

This very hardy alpine is much like a dwarf form of our familiar wallflower, bearing narrow, dark green leaves with golden-yellow clusters of fragrant flowers with a long flowering period starting in early spring, till late summer. Hardy to -12°C it is ideal for rockeries and front-of-border positions, or even may be used in containers to add colour to early spring planting. ... Learn More

This incredible selection of incredibly diverse perennial erysimum (shrubby wallflower) seeds has never before been offered anywhere. We have been breeding unusual wallflowers for very many years, and a good number of our best seedlings have been protected and sold in large numbers worldwide. The original parent stock we used for breeding purposes varied from tiny alpines. through the conventional commercial colour range of biennial wallflowers, right up to large shrubby species. Enormous beds of mixed forms were grown to permit the bees to do much of the pollinating. Plants varied enormously ... Learn More

Only very rarely are any seeds produced by the usually sterile, legendary, 'Bowles Mauve' parent plants and each seed is individually hand collected with great care. These will all produce true F1 plants with first generation hybrid vigour. Plants will vary very much in habit, colour of flowers and flowering times, as we intentionally grew the parent plants in close contact with a large variety of different erysimums and commercial dwarf wallflowers. These unique plants should all be of a very high standard and commercially valuable if propagated hence their high price. We respectfully poi ... Learn More

This new gem from our ongoing breeding programme possesses a full hand of aces! The seed pods, collected individually as they ripen, should produce unique, enormous, hardy perennial plants which make strong stout stems, almost trunks, in their second year. Plant them out as small plants, they will not thrive in a small pot. It is essential they are given room to grow unhindered in an open position, when they will spread out into a solid dome of branches clad in evergreen leaves. In the following late winter to early spring, (and ours flower earlier than all other perennial erysimums we grow,) ... Learn More

Growing best in dry, sandy soil, this unusual colour variant is an attractive biennial/perennial, consisting of several stout stems arising from a basal clump of leathery leaves which have toothed margins. Found naturally on the Western edges of North America, this seldom-seem wallflower has much larger and also paler flowers than others of its kind. ... Learn More

This rare Polish endemic giant wallflower survives in just one area on the calcareous hill of Czorsztyn Castle at 500 metres above sea level where it grows into a sizeable bush smothered in bright yellow fragrant flowers. ... Learn More

Many years ago we crossed several erysimum varieties including 'Bowles Mauve', E. linifolium and E. scoparius, with dwarf commercial wallflowers producing some unbelievable new plants. We are now releasing a few more valuable, individually hand-collected seeds from these lovely hybrids. Many plants grown from these unique seeds have been reproduced in large numbers and sold worldwide, so expect all habits and colours. These wonderful plants should all be of a very high standard and commercially valuable if propagated. We respectfully point out that all of our hybrid seed, by its very nature, ... Learn More

By crossing a selection of very large perennial wallflower species and varieties such as Bowles' Mauve hybrids, with some good-coloured, tall and large-flowered annual ones, we have developed some quite enormous hybrids. These will make exceptionally large, perennial, evergreen shrubby wallflowers, all carrying differently twin-toned flowers, and, a most valuable aspect, some of which will flower very early indeed in the season, some before the very earliest commercial varieties available! We respectfully point out that all of our hybrid seed, by its very nature, may produce occasional freaks ... Learn More

From high on the mountains of the Canary Islands comes this ancestral relative of garden wallflowers. Long, almost ever-blooming spikes of pinkish-lilac flowers, open on slender stems, above fine, grey-green foliage, which forms a low dense shrub, much wider than it is tall. It is completely drought tolerant in summer, thus ideal for a very sunny, well drained soil. It will also grow quite happily in all but the wettest, shadiest sites. It is very low maintenance, needing no dead heading, spent flower heads virtually disappearing. ... Learn More

Strong branching stems, bearing thick, leathery, weather-proof grey leaves reach upwards, before opening their buds to reveal a very long succession of sizeable colour-changing flowers in shades of orange, occasionally shading to mauve. Constant breeding, including with Bowles' Mauve, has produced the latest and largest of our innovative releases. This magnificent shrubby wallflower relative grows thick, woody stems, and can reach up to nearly a meter in height, and planted in a sheltered spot can live for many years. Finally, towering above normal wallflowers, it opens its flowers over an ex ... Learn More

Cluster of bright yellow, scented flowers open on thin stems bearing narrow leaves and later twisted seed pods. A rare species in the wild, it is occasionally encountered on rocky ridges, where it is known as the 'sand-dwelling wallflower'. It likes gritty, well drained soil and flowers from mid spring to early summer. Native to British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, it is found at high elevations from 900 to 2200 m in the Cascade and Olympic Mountains as well as on Vancouver Island. ... Learn More

Compact, semi-perennial plants display upwards-pointing spires of semi-opened flowers, rather resembling candles! These most unusual and quite unique wallflowers come in a variety of red, yellow, and colours in between, and are a complete novelty. Seedlings from them will continue to produce similar freakish combinations of flowers, so we do not recommend them for wallflower purists! Very few viable seeds are produced. We respectfully point out that all of our hybrid seed, by its very nature, may produce occasional freaks and oddities. If you discover something remarkable, and are happy to do ... Learn More

This exquisite, hardy, bulbous plant has leaves that are attractively mottled with purple-brown blotches, and beautiful, drooping, bright pink flowers with reflexed petals, making a stunning combination of colours that will add plenty of beauty to your garden. Once established it will slowly, if you are lucky, spread by seeding gently. It is called the Dog's Tooth Violet" as the bulbs do indeed resemble dogs' teeth! ... Learn More
