Description

Bright, cheerful, and wonderfully scented, Erysimum ‘Fragrant Sunshine’ brings a warm glow to the garden just when you need it most. Its golden-yellow flowers arrive in generous clusters and keep coming in repeat flushes, while the neat, evergreen foliage gives you structure even when the blooms pause.
It’s a brilliant plant for sunny borders, pots and gravel gardens — and a real favourite near paths, doorways and seating areas where you’ll catch the fragrance as you pass. Pollinators love it too, making it a simple way to add colour and life to your planting.

Caragh Garden Notebook

There are a few plants that feel like bottled sunshine — and this is one of them.
Erysimum ‘Fragrant Sunshine’ is the kind of wallflower that lifts everything around it: bright yellow blooms, a soft scent on warm days, and that steady, reliable habit that keeps the garden looking cared-for. We love it near the front door, along a path, or in pots where you’ll brush past it and catch the fragrance without even trying.
Caragh tip: When a flush of flowers starts to fade, give it a light trim. It helps keep the plant compact and often encourages another round of blooms.
