PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
- Spring: Planting Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ in spring gives it time to establish strong roots before the main blooming period, resulting in a healthier, more floriferous plant.
- Autumn: Planting in early autumn allows the plant to settle before cooler conditions arrive, encouraging robust growth when warmer weather returns.
Site Selection
- Sunlight: Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ thrives in full sun but will also perform well in light partial shade. A bright, sunny position helps maximise flowering potential.
- Soil: Choose a well-drained site, as Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Incorporate compost or organic matter to enrich the soil and improve structure.
Planting Instructions
- Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth to allow roots to spread freely.
- Soil Preparation: Mix organic matter into the excavated soil to enhance drainage and fertility.
- Planting: Position Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ so the top of the root ball is level with surrounding soil. Backfill gently, firming the soil to eliminate air pockets.
- Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly to settle the soil and help roots establish, ensuring excess water can drain freely.
Watering Requirements
- Growing Season: Once established, Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ is relatively drought-tolerant. Water during prolonged dry spells, allowing soil to dry slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root problems.
- Dormant Season: Reduce watering significantly when growth slows, only providing moisture if the soil becomes very dry.
Feeding
- Spring: Apply a balanced, general-purpose fertiliser in early spring to promote vigorous new growth and abundant blooms.
- Mid-Summer: A light feed during mid-summer can help extend the flowering season and keep Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ looking its best.
Pruning
- Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
- Autumn Pruning: Once flowering has finished, lightly trim Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ to keep a neat shape and encourage fresh shoots the following season.
Mulching
- Spring: Apply a mulch of organic material around the base to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
- Winter: Mulching in colder months can protect the roots and help maintain stable soil conditions.
Supporting the Plant
Erysimum ‘Cheers Florange’ generally has sturdy stems and compact growth, so staking is rarely necessary. In more exposed sites, light support may help protect it from wind damage.
