PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant Erysimum ‘Super Bowl Mauve’ in spring as the soil begins to warm. This gives the roots time to establish before the flowering season begins.
Autumn: Alternatively, plant in early autumn to allow the plant to settle ahead of its next growth cycle.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Choose a sunny position where Erysimum ‘Super Bowl Mauve’ will receive plenty of direct light, encouraging strong growth and abundant blooms.
Soil: Since Erysimum thrives in free-draining soil, amend heavy or compact areas with grit or compost to improve drainage and structure.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball to allow Erysimum ‘Super Bowl Mauve’ sufficient room to develop a healthy root system.
Soil Preparation: Incorporate organic matter such as compost to boost fertility and enhance drainage.
Planting: Position the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface, then gently backfill and firm the soil around it.
Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly to settle the soil, ensuring excess water drains freely away from the roots.
Watering Requirements
Growing Season: Once established, Erysimum requires only moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry slightly between each session to prevent overwatering.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering considerably during the plant’s resting phase, providing moisture only when the soil becomes very dry.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage lush foliage and a strong flush of blooms on Erysimum ‘Super Bowl Mauve’.
Mid-Summer: A light, mid-season feed helps maintain vigour and prolong flowering.
Pruning
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming and keep your Erysimum looking tidy.
Autumn Pruning: Lightly shape the plant after flowering slows to encourage fresh growth and maintain a neat form.
Mulching
Spring: Add a layer of mulch around the base of Erysimum ‘Super Bowl Mauve’ to conserve moisture and suppress weed growth.
Winter: Mulching again in winter helps protect the root system and maintain even soil conditions.
Supporting the Plant
Staking: While generally upright and sturdy, Erysimum ‘Super Bowl Mauve’ may benefit from light staking if grown in particularly exposed areas.
Final Tips
Erysimum ‘Super Bowl Mauve’ is a hardy perennial that rewards gardeners with months of colour and fragrance.
