Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Erysimum grandiflorum regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. In hotter, drier periods, increase watering frequency.
During winter dormancy, reduce watering significantly.
Prune Erysimum grandiflorum after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage reblooming. Remove spent flower stalks and any dead or leggy stems.
A harder prune in late winter or early spring can rejuvenate older plants.
Propagate Erysimum grandiflorum from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining compost mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they root.
Seeds can also be sown in autumn or spring.
Repot Erysimum grandiflorum every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of peat, loam, and grit. Repotting is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
