Description
Erysimum 'Colour Vibe Orange' is a perennial wallflower in a very bright orange that awakens spring borders with its clusters of fragrant, radiant flowers. Its generous flowering, good performance in sun, lovely upright habit and natural disease resistance quickly make it indispensable in the garden or in a pot. This variety is hardy down to –7 °C, adapts easily to well-drained soils, even poor and dry ones, and requires little maintenance.
‘Colour Vibe Orange’ (Erysimum ‘Colour Vibe Orange’ (Cdcery2) PP 36 457) is a perennial wallflower in the Brassicaceae family, derived from the species Erysimum cheiri (formerly Cheiranthus cheiri). This cultivar is part of the Colour Vibe series, originating from a breeding programme led by Charles Carr, aimed at achieving long, fragrant flowerings and bright colours that do not fade. This variety was shortlisted for the RHS Trial at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2023.
The plant has an upright, compact and well-branched habit. It reaches between 50–70cm in height and spread, depending on growing conditions. It produces large flowers gathered in dense clusters, of an intense orange, emerging from purplish buds. The fragrant flowering can begin as early as March and continues until June. Its leaves are large, dark green, with a silvery sheen. The foliage is evergreen in winter.
This Erysimum is a herbaceous perennial plant, but is often grown as a biennial or a short-lived perennial, mostly due to its sensitivity to winter moisture. In mild climates and well-drained soil, however, it can behave as a true perennial and faithfully rebloom for several seasons.
Erysimum ‘Colour Vibe Orange’ fits into contemporary or naturalistic settings. It grows very well in a pot, allowing easy control of watering and nutrition. Its orange colour combines happily with spring blooms of daffodils, jonquils, tulips in orange, red or yellow or fritillaries 'crown imperials'. It naturally associates with early biennials or perennials in warm or complementary tones: primroses, forget-me-nots, aubrietas... For a more structured display, it can be associated with grasses such as evergreen sedges or a few plants of Stipa tenuifolia.

Planting and care
Erysimum 'Colour Vibe Orange' can be planted in containers and window boxes or directly in the ground in well-drained, finely prepared and enriched soil. Plant as soon as possible after receipt. If the intended location is not yet ready or conditions are not favourable for planting (heavy rain or soil too dry), you can grow them on in pots for a few weeks. At planting or shortly after, you can pinch out the tip of the young plant between thumb and forefinger to remove the terminal bud and stimulate branching. This operation can be repeated until mid-October to obtain denser bushes.
In containers and window boxes, use a good quality, well-draining compost for flowering plants (for example, with plenty of bark or perlite) and enriched with slow-release fertiliser. The top of the root ball should be level with the compost. Water generously at planting and during the following weeks. However, be careful of excess water! Ensure you use containers with drainage holes and empty the saucer 10 minutes after watering. Remember to water even during winter if it does not rain or if the container is placed in a location sheltered from rainfall. Do not water during frosty periods.
From 3 weeks after planting and until after flowering, apply a liquid fertiliser for flowering plants 1 to 2 times per week with the watering water, even in winter (as long as watering is necessary). The faded spikes can be cut off with scissors to keep the plant looking neat, but this is not essential, as flowering will continue on its own as long as the plant does not lack water. Once flowering is finished, plants in containers can be replanted in the garden in full sun after being pruned back by about 5 cm.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
