Description

Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ is a fragrant perennial wallflower known for its clusters of apricot-orange blooms and compact, bushy habit. With its long flowering season and elegant foliage, this Erysimum is an excellent choice for borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator-friendly planting schemes.

PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time

Plant Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ in spring when the soil begins to warm, allowing its roots to develop before the blooming season. Alternatively, early autumn planting gives Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ time to settle before its next growth cycle.

Site Selection

Sunlight: Choose a position in full sun to maximise floral display and maintain a compact shape. Erysimum performs best in bright, open areas that receive consistent sunlight.

Soil: Provide free-draining soil to prevent moisture buildup around the roots. Incorporating grit or compost helps create ideal conditions for your Erysimum, supporting strong, healthy growth.

Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Hole
    Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball. This gives Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ sufficient space to establish well.
  2. Soil Preparation
    Improve drainage by mixing in organic matter or coarse grit.
  3. Planting
    Place the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill and firm gently to remove air pockets.
  4. Watering After Planting
    Water well after planting to settle the soil. Once established, Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ prefers moderate moisture but will tolerate drier conditions.
Watering Requirements

Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells, allowing the soil to dry slightly between sessions. Water sparingly during winter dormancy, providing moisture only if the soil becomes very dry.

Feeding

Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage strong new growth and abundant flowers. A light midsummer feed helps to maintain vigour throughout its long flowering season.

Pruning

Deadhead regularly to extend flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. After the blooming period, lightly trim back Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ to encourage fresh growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy.

Mulching

Apply a thin layer of mulch in spring to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown of your Erysimum to avoid excess moisture around the base. In winter, a light mulch offers additional root protection.

Final Tips

Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’ is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that provides months of colour from early spring to early summer. With its fragrant blooms, compact form, and preference for sunny, well-drained sites, this Erysimum is an excellent addition to gardens seeking long-lasting seasonal interest and vibrant floral display.
