Cheiranthus Maritimus – Mediterranean Stock also commonly known as the Wallflower or Gillyflower is a hardy Perennial but is usually grown as a Biannual or Hardy Annual by gardeners. The blossoms are a lively red and then in a few days, they become a blueish purple color, and rise atop silvery purple foliage. This plant has humble growth and produces a profusion of blooms over a long duration. It has a blooming season that ranges from late Spring to early Fall, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade in well-draining soils, and will grow between 6 – 32 inches tall. It is recommended to pinch back the tips to help encourage the plant to become bushier. These sweet-scented flowers will attract numerous pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. They are native to the Mediterranean Coast, and do well in containers, in borders in the garden, and can be used for edging.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
